Paella a la Valenciana

I made this recipie twice during the holidays: once on Christmas Eve sans the dry wine and again on the day after Christmas with the dry wine. On each occasion my family, guests, and I were awed by this recipie's rich and flavorful taste! This was truly a hearty meal. My variations included the use of turkey sauage instead of chorizo and salt pork. Also, as special treat, I included in the Paella a pound of large sea scallops and employed as a side dish, a can of Goya Black Beans with chooped onions and green peppers. I have tried various Paella recipies in the past;however, this one was by far the best. The directions are very clear. I was a bit dissapointed in the short grain rice but this could be attributed to the fact that I am simply a "long grain rice person", if you will. I will make this again soon and I highly recommend that you do the same!
