Paella

Oh yea, paella!  1080 recipes, pg 201.  Mostly sorta followed the recipe.  Used 1 lb shrimp, .4 lb squid, package of chorizo picante.  Didn't make a stock, but used a can of seafood stock plus a jar of clam juice.  Arborio rice.

Sauteed the chorizo for a few minutes, then added a diced onion and then the green peppers.  Then proceeded as directed.  Mostly didn't stir the pot once we put everything in.

Verdict: really good flavor, but the rice wasn't the correct texture.  Too mushy.  Maybe rinsing the rice, or using something other than arborio?

Happy anniversary to us!
