SPANISH CHICKEN, SPICY SAUSAGE AND SEAFOOD PAELLA (DIABETIC)



Spanish Chicken, Spicy Sausage and Seafood Paella (Diabetic) image

There are many different versions of this popular Spanish dish. If desired, substitute the same weight of firm white fish for the mussels. Traditionally, saffron is used to color and flavor this dish. Turmeric is much cheaper but does not taste the same. Saffron is usually available in the spice section of the supermarket and you need only add a pinch in place of the turmeric for the authentic flavor.

A wonderful Spanish Paella that's very easy to make and the presentation is great as well. You'll need a very large skillet or a paella pan. The clams are optional, but I would recommend using them.
