Here's the recipe, just for you as you said nice things,


Don't share it with Roysplaything cause she was nasty,



Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1g saffron strands or 1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron
Coarse salt
1/4 l (1 cup, 8 ounces) olive oil

1 kg (2 1/2 pounds) chicken, cut into small pieces (about 14)
1/4 kg (1/2 pound) squid, cut into small pieces
1/4 kg (1/2 pound) monkfish, cut into small pieces
1/4 kg (1/2 pound) belly pork, cut into small pieces
1/2 kg (1 pound) medium shrimp
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 kg (1/2 pound) peas
2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1/4 kg (1/2 pound) cooked small clams, in their shells
1/2 kg (1 pound) cooked mussels, reserve few shells for decoration
675g (3 cups, 1 1/2 pounds) short-grain rice
1 lemon
1 liter (4 cups, 1 3/4 pints) hot chicken broth
3/4 l (3 cups, 24 ounces) hot fish broth
1/2 kg (1 pound) large crayfish
Parsley sprigs and lemon wedges for garnish
Preparation:
In small bowl or mortar, mash garlic, parsley, saffron and salt. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in paella pan with a 15-inch (40 cm) base.
Add chopped chorizo. Fry, stirring a few minutes.
Remove to warm platter.
Add chicken pieces, sprinkled with salt, and fry over high heat until golden on all sides.
Remove to warm platter.
Add squid and monkfish
Sprinkle with dash of salt and fry. Remove to warm platter.
Add shrimp and saute about 3 minutes, or until barely pink. Remove to warm platter.
Add chopped onion, tomato and peppers. Saute until soft.
Return the chorizo, chicken, fish and shrimp to the paella pan.
Add parsley-garlic mixture.
Add cooked clams and mussels. discard any that have not opened.
Stir in rice, and juice of 1 lemon. Fry for 2 or 3 minutes.
Pour over the hot chicken and fish broth, while stirring. Bring to fast boil.
Add peas
Decorate with large crayfish around the edge of paella pan.
Simmer for 20 minutes, without stirring.
Turn off heat and shake pan lightly to prevent rice from sticking.
Cover with dry towel for 10 minutes.
This allows rice to absorb any excess broth.
Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs before serving.

Man... some people!

Zep: your paella looks awsome! I dont put monkfish or pork in mine: just large pieces of chicken (whole legs), sausige (choriso), mussels squid, tiger shrimp (or Langoustine if its a special event lol).. but sound interesting!

I can handle everything except the above....I wonder what it would taste like without those ingredients.
Substitutions could be:
Grouper
Ham
Scallops
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
