Chicken, Shrimp and Sausage Paella Recipe (+)

Directions

Heat oil in large oven-proof pan. Salt and pepper chicken pieces, skin off or on, as preferred. Brown chicken well on all sides and set aside.
Add onion, bell pepper and sausage to pan (use more oil, if needed) and cook until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and tomatoes and stir to get up any browned bits from the pan. Add stock, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the turmeric.
Stir in rice and return browned chicken to pan. Cover and bake in 350° F. degree oven (or simmer on stovetop) until rice and chicken are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30-40 minutes. Add water or tomato juice, if mixture looks dry before rice is done.
Prepare the shrimp: peel and devein, if necessary, and sauté until cooked (until color changes to bright orange) about 5 minutes.
Arrange shrimp, olives, and lemon slices on top of rice. Serve hot.
