  1. This is an excellent recipe. I added extra seafood. Great flavor!!
     
  2. i am not going to rate this, just review it. i though it was tasty but made a few changes: no shrimp (ds is allergic), used anduille sausage instead of chorizo , and both saffron AND turmeric. i felt that it was lacking something.. can't put my finger on what, but it needed more flavor or something. i will make it again and play with it. thanks!
     
  3. Very easy and scrumptious recipe. A few things I would alter - I would cut the chicken into smaller bite size portions (personal preference). I would also get the rice cooking first and once that is simmering then cook the chicken and sausage in a separate pan at the same time. That would save about 20 min. of cooking time. Very good and I will use again! Thank you for posting this recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a happily almost divorced mother of 3 grown adults and grandmother of 6 beautiful children. I really enjoy cooking but I hate it when I cook something different and no one likes it so I'm very picky with my recipes. I'm very sensitive to criticism, but I'm working on that and using it constructively so that I won't make the same mistakes anymore, LOL! My hobbies besides cooking are traveling to the beach, reading and surfing the net for new recipes which is how I found Recipezarr. Since being on this site, I very seldom venture to any other. Well, who would need to? LOL!
