1st rice dish will feed approx 4 and 2nd 4-6.

Here are the ingredients for 2 paella dishes.These are from Valencia. Number 1, 1 chicken, 1 tomato peeled, seeded and chopped. peas,1 tbsp paprika, pinch of saffron, 1chopped clove of garlic,handful of green beans snails about 8-10. Just leave them out if not keen.1/2 cup olive oil. 5 cups boiling water. 2 cups of rice. Salt to taste.

Number 2. Small chicken, 2 thick slices loin pork. 1 tomato,peeled and chopped. 2 crushed cloves garlic. Again green beans and shelled peas. 2 cups of rice. 5 cups boiling water. Pinch of .saffron. 1/2 teasp paprika ( optional).This recipe also uses crayfish and clams but just as nice without.

Have many different recipes using stocks/wine ect. If you need the method let me know. Hope these may be some use .

Paella often has chicken and seafood in it, but realistically you can put in or leave out what you like.

How about using chicken, a couple of different spicy sausages and a selection of mushrooms, along with the vegetables such as tomato, onion, peppers, carrots, peas, and garlic?

Raw sausages would have to be added or cooked the same as the chicken, but things like chorizo, peperami, salami etc could be added at the end in place of the seafood.

Hi Texas,,,

As seafood does not take very long to cook, you could make the paella with chicken and chorizzo, and all the other bits and pieces, then take enough out for your 2 guests before adding the seafood.

Just a thought!!
