SLOW-COOKER PAELLA



Slow-Cooker Paella image

This is from a magazine called "All You". It's a simple yet tasty recipe for those who enjoy cooking on the crockpot. Althought the recipe is called Paella I personally think that it's more like a Risotto since the dish turned out to be very moist!

SLOW COOKER PSEUDO PAELLA



Slow Cooker Pseudo Paella image

This is not paella, but it has all of the ingredients of my basic paella recipe and makes for a great wintertime alternative. The slow cooker makes it easy to prepare; adding the rice at the end keeps it from getting overcooked. It is not paella, but it stands up on its own.
