Set It and Forget It Paella

Instructions

• 1Dice everything to the same size for even cooking. Congratulations: You made a sofrito mix.
• 2Place a rack in position 8.
• 3Heat your pan over high, and add the olive oil. Toss in the sofrito mix and sauté until the moisture is gone and the oil is frying. Add the rice and cook for 1 min, stirring constantly.
• 4This is the key step: While stirring over high heat, cook the liquid out until the fat begins to break out and fry to develop the creamy sauce that will become your crispy bottom. This takes about eight minutes.
• 5Bring to a simmer, season, and then put it into the oven.
• 6Julienne the peas and toss them into a bowl with your whole leaf mint and parsley. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• 7 It’s paella time, amigos.
