Paella is one of Spain's most famous rice dishes, taking its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish on an open fire. An equal-opportunity meal, it typically includes meat along with some type of seafood. A sprinkling of paprika adds some mild heat.
This recipe is made on the stovetop with slices of chorizo, a spicy pork sausage, diced chicken and shrimp. Canned tomatoes and roasted red peppers imbue the dish with a lovely ruby hue, while blue cheese-stuffed olives add a briny, pungent kick. If you don't like shrimp, you could double the amount of chicken or sausage, or substitute chunks of lobster or clams.
