Recipe
Measure out peas. Set on counter to thaw.
Pour broth, clam juice and wine into a large bowl or 8-cup (2-L) measuring cup. Stir in saffron and leave on counter to steep.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, peppers, sausages, jalapenos, and garlic,. Stir often just until sausages are lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in rice, paprika, thyme and oregano. Pour in saffron mixture. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, stirring often. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Then spread out on a large baking sheet with shallow sides. Refrigerate, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until rice is cool, about 20 minutes.
Scrape rice into a large mixing bowl. Stir in tomatoes, green onions, thawed peas, coriander and salad dressing. Add salt and pepper, if needed.
Salad will keep well, covered and refrigerated, overnight.
