I LOVE Paella and it's a great party food......makes a huge batch.
My problem is I never could find saffron here.......but our daughter gets it for us from her health food store........I'm also getting hungry.

I have put chorizo? sausage into the paella, plus shrimp and chicken, peas, etc. (not looking at my recipe), onions, garlic, saffron, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes? RICE OF COURSE. I never used clams, etc.
I guess I figured the kids wouldn't eat it.

My dad loved bacala.......I think the food is very similar.
His was dried cod fish.

But he also used the fresh white cod fish, put on the "topping" and then broiled it I think.

What I ate as a child, my grandkids would NEVER touch now.
Such as ANCHOVIES. I loved them.

Thanks again for the recipe links........
We'll have to go to a restaurant, to get paella when you get down here.

I understand there is a good place, "Latina Y Mas", near TV.
