Easy Paella. Consider this a gateway paella and the first step to a serious, lifelong addiction. When I first do a version of a classic dish like paella, I try to use a minimum number of ingredients and steps to focus on technique. In a large heavy casserole pan, heat oil.

I made a few modifications - I used spanish hard chorizo which increased the flavor and spice of the dish, and I added diced yellow bell pepper.

It was a big hit with my family, including my preschool aged girls.
