This impressive, but easy, traditional Spanish dish has as many variations as there are cooks, so
feel free to adjust ingredients as you wish.
 
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.
