1. Put the oil in the cooking pot of the
Multicooker set to Brown/Sauté at 400°F.
2. Season the chicken on both sides with ½
teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
Once unit has preheated, brown the
chicken, skin side down first, about 6
minutes per side. Remove and reserve.
Carefully remove the cooking pot from the
base and pour out excess grease into a
heatproof container.
3. Add the chorizo and brown on both sides.
Add the garlic, onion, paprika, oregano
and ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté until vegetables
are softened and lightly browned, about
2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes into the pot and cook,
stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have
reduced and slightly caramelized, about 3
to 4 minutes.
5. Add the rice to the unit and stir to coat
with tomato mixture. Add the broth and
saffron and stir together well. Cover and
reduce the temperature to 300°F.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Add the chicken pieces to the cooking pot
by nestling them in the rice; simmer,
covered for an additional 12 to 15 minutes.
7. While chicken is simmering, season shrimp
with remaining salt and pepper. Add to unit
with the clams and simmer, covered, for an
additional 8 to 12 minutes, until clamshells
have opened.
8. Stir in the parsley, peas and lemon juice.
9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges
on the side.
*Bomba rice is a Spanish-style rice specific for
paella. It can be found in specialty or gourmet
stores, or possibly in the international section
