Very expensive, very disappointed. This recipe was nothing like i expected. If you are looking for a "hispanic" paella, this is definitely not the recipe for you. It wasn't an awful dish. It actually tasted okay, but it was definitely not worth the near $20 I spent on the ingredients.

It is not that this recipe was terrible, it just does not taste like paella which is a saffron-flavored dish. Paella is a very rich and flavorful dish that soaks in the added spices while cooking. The flavors used in this recipe are more of a subdued taste. I followed the recipe precisely. The Italian sausage added a very distracting flavor to the dish. To note, the best paella I have ever tasted came from Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, at Columbia Restaurant.

This recipe was pretty good! I omitted the shrimp, and the chicken I used was marinated in Italian dressing for 24 hours and it turned out very tender. I also removed some of the sausage drippings after I sauteed the chicken in it because it was just too much. Definately use the hot Italian sausage because it gives it a nice kick, but it was mild enough for my 1 year old to enjoy. Over all yummy and will definately make again.

easy breazy! adjustments i made that may improve this already awesome dish...no meat, add crab (basically a seafood paella), 2 tomatoes (blanched, pealed, chopped), no tomato juice (just add more wine to make up for the liquid. Yum, yum, yum!

In my previous experience Paella has never tasted like mere Spanish rice with an array of meat, poultry and seafood added in. I am very sorry to have hoped and tried to get a decent meal out of this recipe.

Great, easy recipe... I changed/added a few ingredients - used yellow pepper in place of green, instead of oregano and turmeric I added saffron, I used less stock and added white wine and added a hand full of fresh, chopped celantro just before serving. Just wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe Amy! :)
