                        -Melanie Miguel MJNT73C
     1/2   c            Olive Oil
     1/4   lb           Boneless chicken breasts
     1/4   lb           Pork Tenderloin
   3                    Garlic Cloves -- crushed
   1                    Large onion, sliced thin
   1                    Red Bell Pepper
   1       c            Frozen peas
     1/8   ts           Saffron
   1       t            Paprika
   4       c            Chicken Broth
   1       c            Dry White Wine
   1       lb           Chorizo -- sliced 1" thick
  12                    Littleneck clams
  12                    Blue Mussels
     1/4   lb           Squid
   2                    Lobster Tails -- cut in thirds
     1/2   lb           Large Shrimp
   3                    Crab Legs -- halved
   2       c            Raw rice (not converted)

  Heat a paella pan, large skillet, or dutch oven on
  med. high heat. Add the olive oil and the chicken and
  pork, which have been cut into slices 1/4" thick.
  Brown the meat and remove from pan. Add the onion,
  garlic, and chorizo. Remove when the onion is
  translucent and the chorizo is browned. Add the rice,
  stirring constantly until it is a golden brown color.
  Add the wine and allow to come to a boil. Turn the
  heat down to a simmer.
  In a separate saucepan, or in the microwave, heat the
  chicken broth and add the paprika and saffron to it.
  Do this ahead of time. Slowly add the seasoned broth
  to the rice and stir well. Add the already cooked
  meats, onion, and garlic. Stir again. Arrange the red
  pepper, sliced in 1/4" thickness around the edge of
  the pan, forming a pattern. In between the pepper
  slices and in the middle of the pan, place all
  remaining ingredients. Try to distribute them evenly
  so that they form a nice pattern. Sprinkle the peas
  all over the top. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and
  allow to cook until all moisture is absorbed and the
  fish is cooked. If you use a paella pan you will have
  to keep checking to be sure that the rice on the outer
  edges is cooking. If it isn't, gently push the rice
  towards the center, trying not to disturb your
  pattern. Otherwise, allow to cook undisturbed. Discard
  any clams (*) or mussels (*) that do not open. * Be
  sure to clean the clams and mussels well before using.
  Discard any that are already open.
