My ex lover from Spain -- his mother taught me this about Paella (which is cooked best over a wood fire), and they were from Valencia where the "poor man's" version originates. Fifteen minute rule: after all ingredients are in pan, a 15 simmer, cover, 15 minutes in overn, 15 minutes rest with cover. With Valencian paella, add green beans at pre oven step. The seafood version: add all the fish or shellfish late after rice is well-simmered. Clams, shrimp, scallops, even langostino or lobster to steam without over-cooking. Very filling and hardy dish. Saffron is essential. Invest in a few ounces despite cost of it.

Excellent explanation. I've been wanting to try paella for a long time, and have yet to go to a restaurant for it. So I'm just going to try your recipe, and maybe add scallops. Looks divine. Thanks for sharing.
