Simple Paella
"This uses just pork loin and sausage, but you could add chicken, shrimp or other seafood quite easily. Adapted from a recipe by my friend Cheryl. http://bit.ly/aNlLqc"
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 yellow onions or 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 1 lb lean pork loin, diced
- 1⁄2 lb kielbasa or 1/2 lb smoked sausage, diced
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup cooking sherry
- 1 pinch saffron thread
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
directions
- In a large skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and saute until limp, 3-5 minutes.
- Add pork cubes and cook until browned, another 5 minutes. Add sausage and garlic and cook 1-2 minutes, until hot.
- Add tomatoes, rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Add more water if it begins to look dry before the rice is cooked.
- Meanwhile, heat the sherry in the microwave until steaming but not boiling. Add the saffron and let steep while the rice cooks. When the rice is tender and most of the liquid is gone, add the sherry (with the saffron) and peas, and stir well. Turn off heat and let stand until peas are heated through, about 10 minutes.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
