Expert Tips

Chorizo is a spicy Spanish pork sausage sold fresh or fully cooked. Fresh sausage must be cooked before it’s added to this recipe.

Paella ("pi-AY-yuh") is a Spanish dish of saffron-flavored rice combined with meats and shellfish. It's made in a special deep skillet with two handles. We've made this recipe easier with an ordinary skillet and common ingredients.

Great recipe and a hint for those who must reduce fat intake or who cannot eat pork ... there is a marvelous chorizo substitute called "Soyrizo". Tastes like the original ( use it when making Chorizo and Egg omelets and my husband has never noticed the difference.

This dish is quite simple to make, and even with small mods it's very tasty. Ex: They didn't have any rotisserie chicken at the store left, so I used what frozen chicken breasts I had at home, baked them, and threw som Emeril's Essence on them for the flavor it would have lacked from not being rotisserie style. It did take longer than 30 mins to make, but everyone in the house enjoyed it, which is nice, b/c now the tasty leftovers have no chance of going to waste.
