    Recipe



    Procedure:
    In a heavy bottom 6 qt. saucepot, sauté the sausage in the olive oil until deep brown. Add the garlic, onions, peppers and celery and continue sautéing until they just become soft.

    Add the chicken breast and herbs and continue cooking over high heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until the chicken begins to brown.

    Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, rice and saffron and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Add the clams and simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Add the shrimp, squid, garbanzo beans and scallions. Cover the pot, keep temperature at simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the seafood is pink and firm. The rice should absorb most of the liquid in the finished paella.

    Serve on a decorative platter, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.
