Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cook the chicken broth, strain it, and add a pinch of saffron. Keep the broth warm.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion, peel the garlic and crush it with the flat side of a knife. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds, and dice it. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel them, and dice.
Step 3
Wash the chicken drumsticks, remove the skin, cut off the bone, and cut them in half.
Step 4
Steam the green peas and fava beans until cooked.
Step 5
In a heavy-bottomed skillet with high sides, heat the oil and sauté the chicken until almost cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
Step 6
In the remaining oil, add paprika, turmeric, and ground red pepper, and sauté over low heat, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Then add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and bell pepper and simmer for another 3 minutes.
Step 7
Add the rice to the skillet and sauté, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the broth, stir, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the wine. Add the green peas and fava beans.
Step 9
Now, bring everything to completion. The liquid will evaporate, but keep adding broth as needed. The finished dish should be drier than risotto but not completely crumbly like pilaf.
Step 10
When the paella is ready, arrange lemon wedges around the edge, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
