Peter’s Paella

Peter’s Paella is a classic Spanish dish that the whole family will love. You can pack it with any number of vegetables, meat or seafood. The spices give the rice an authentic flavour. My father-in-law, Peter, is not Spanish himself but he has taken this on as his signature dish after the family visited Spain and enjoyed it so much. He invested in an enormous paella pan so that on special occasions he can feed the extended family without a problem.

That said, you can use a regular sized pan to cook this dish. There is a fair amount of preparation involved but it is well worth the wait. Cook up a double batch if you have a frying pan to spare. Peter’s Paella is a fantastic dish for leftovers as the flavours intensify with each day.
