Moroccan Paella Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chili, paprika, cilantro, garlic cumin and lemon juice in a dish and mix well. Pour half over the chicken and the remainder over the fish selection. Cover and marinade for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a very large, deep sided, frying pan and add the rice. Toss over a low-heat until the rice grains are well coated.
• Heat the stock and gradually add to the rice, stirring occasionally.
• In a separate frying pan, sear the chicken until browned and add to the rice. Now fry the fish for 3 minutes and add to the rice. Stir carefully, season and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes and serve garnished with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a paella pan over medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil. Add the chicken, rabbit and garlic; cook and stir until nicely browned. Move the browned meat to the sides of the pan, and add the tomato, butter beans, peas, and green beans. Season with paprika, and mix well.
• Fill the paella pan almost to the top with water, measuring the water as you put it in. This is to help you to determine how much rice to add, as paella pans come in different sizes. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 1 hour to make a nice broth.
• Season with a generous amount of salt, and just enough saffron to make a nice yellow color. Season with thyme and rosemary if desired. The goal is to make a rich tasting broth that will soak into the rice to make it delicious. Stir in half as much rice as the amount of water in the pan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
