I have planned last night to cook paella today but my mind was changed. Cooking Paella for me takes time since this is my only first time to attempt cooking it by myself. We already cooked these before when i was in college as a project with my classmates. Since then, i did not forget how Paella filipino style is yummy that's why i was planning to cook it. I still have choriso here but one thing i needed is the shrimp. I maybe ask hubby to get shrimp tommorow. Here is the Paella Filipino style recipe for me.
Ingredients:
20 pieces mussels
20 pieces clams
2 crabs
¼ kilo medium-size shrimps
¼ cup olive oil
½ kilo chicken, cut into serving pieces
¼ kilo pork, cubed
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium-size onion, finely chopped
6 strips bacon, chopped
1 chorizo bilbao, sliced into rounds
5 slices of ham, cubed
1 cup tomato sauce
1 piece red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 ½ cups long grain rice, washed
3 ½ cups broth
100 grams baguio beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup green peas
olive oil
2 eggs, hard-boiled then sliced
strips of red bell pepper
parsley
lemon slices
Cooking Instructions:
Boil the mussels and clams until they open. Drain then set aside.
Boil crabs and shrimps until cooked.
Cut crabs in half and shell the shrimps.
In a large skillet, heat oil then brown the chicken and pork. Push to one side of the pan then sauté the garlic and onions.
Add bacon, chorizo and ham. Pour in tomato sauce then add the bell pepper. Mix then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add rice and broth.
Simmer until rice is partly cooked, stirring once in a while.
Add baguio beans, clams and mussels. Season to taste.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until broth is absorbed by the rice. Add crabs, shrimps and peas.
Stir in some olive oil. Garnish with sliced egg, bell pepper strips, parsley and lemon slices.
