If you’re using a charcoal grill, you’ll want to actively monitor the heat in different spots and shift the pan this way and that as needed.

    8 Servings

2

tablespoons vegetable oil

8

ounces pancetta (Italian bacon), cut into ½-inch pieces

1

large onion, finely chopped

3

garlic cloves, finely grated

1

tablespoon tomato paste

2

teaspoons paprika

1

teaspoon smoked paprika

1

cup dry white wine

3

cups short-grain white rice, preferably bomba

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

5

cups fish or shellfish stock

1

cup canned piquillo peppers or roasted red peppers from a jar, cut into ½-inch strips

12

littleneck clams, scrubbed

8

ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed

8

ounces skinless, boneless fluke fillet, cut into 8 pieces

8

ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined

Chopped parsley (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill for medium heat. Heat oil in a 13" paella pan or a 12" cast-iron skillet. Cook pancetta, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8–10 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and both paprikas and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pan is almost dry, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is coated and starting to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is almost tender, 8–10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Arrange piquillo peppers over top, nestle clams into rice, and cook until clams begin to open, 10–12 minutes. Top rice with sugar snap peas and arrange fluke and shrimp along the outer edges of pan. Cover pan with foil, bring to a simmer, and cook until rice is al dente and clams are open, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat (keep covered) and let rice steam 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    To serve, remove any clams that don’t open and top paella with parsley.

  • We didn't have the Italian bacon, but used a spicy chicken sausage. Maybe because of that, we felt it needed some pop or spices and added chipotle and chile pepper with a bit more white wine...good
