Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the fish stock to a bare simmer and keep warm.
  2. Crush the saffron threads and combine them with the dry white wine in a small bowl to steep.
  3. In a large flameproof casserole or paella pan, heat the lard over moderately high heat.
  4. Add the chorizo to the pan and sauté, turning until browned and fragrant.
  5. Stir in the saffron-wine mixture and cook for 1 minute to deglaze the pan.
  6. Add the rice to the pan and stir continuously for 1 minute to coat the grains in fat.
  7. Ladle in enough warm fish stock to just cover the rice mixture.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  9. Check the rice; if it is tender and liquid is absorbed, remove from heat.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
