LOBSTER PAELLA
A bit fussy but delicious paella. By fussy I mean there are a couple extra steps not that it doesn't work every time. Slow cooking the onions, paprika, garlic and tomato paste is the key to developing rich flavor. If you like pieces of tomato in your paella, then either substitute fresh tomatoes for the tomato paste but you need a lot tomatoes to get the deep tomato flavor and a longer time to get rid of the extra liquid or add a couple well drained chopped tomatoes before you add the rice (and keep the tomato paste)

Steps:
- Use an 18" paella pan or 2 14" paella pans. If using 2 pans, divide ingredients below between the 2.
- Make/buy lobster stock.
- Cook lobster in the shell as preferred. This can be done a day ahead. You need to cut the tails lengthwise to get the needed 12 portions. Be sure to remove any pieces of broken shell. If cooked ahead store in the refrigerator but take out before you get started.
- Grate onion using a box grater or use a food processor.
- Mince garlic or pass through garlic press.
- Toast saffron in a small pan for 1 minute. Crush with a mortar/pestle or spoon into a powder.
- Put stock into a large pot with the lemon juice and saffron. Keep warm over low heat.
- Heat the paella pan(s) on a large burner over low heat until hot (250F).
- Add olive oil to pan and swirl to coat. Heat oil until glistening.
- Brown chorizo slices if using. Remove from heat and set aside. Deglaze pan with wine.
- Add onion and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, paprika and garlic and stir to combine. Move to the center of the pan.
- Cook over very low heat until sofrito has turned into a dark red "jam". Add a bit of white wine if the mixture starts to stick. Do not let this burn. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Deglaze with wine.
- Add the rice into the sofrito-wine mixture and stir well to coat the rice. Spread rice into an even layer.
- Add the lobster stock and Pernod if using, being careful not to disturb the rice.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Turn the pan as necessary to keep all areas simmering.
- Cook, without stirring, until the rice is visible at the level of the liquid (8-10 minutes).
- Add the mussels/clams evenly pushing them into the rice.
- Continue to cook the rice for 5 minutes.
- Add the raw shrimp evenly pushing them into the rice.
- Cook until the rice is just done. Remove from heat. Add chorizo to the rice then distribute the lobster tails around the paella pushing into the rice.
- Cover with foil or lid and let sit for 5 minutes until the seafood is fully cooked and heated through.
- Creating the socarrat.
- Uncover the pan and put over high heat. You should hear a faint crackling sound and it will smell toasty sweet but not burnt.
- Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the peas, parsley & tarragon and garnish with lemon wedges. Put the cover back on. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes then serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the saffron and lemon juice in a small bowl and crush the threads with the back of a spoon until the mixture turns bright yellow. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add the roasted peppers, onion, parsley and bay leaf. Saute until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and the remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; saute until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the rice and toast until slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the wine, scrapping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring, until the wine is fully absorbed. Pour in the tomatoes, stock, saffron mixture, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir until combined. Bring to a simmer, then nestle the clams into the rice. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes. Add the mussels, shrimp and lobster. Cover and transfer to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the clams and mussels are opened.
- Place the pot back on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the peas. Cook until the bottom of the rice forms a crust, about 5 minutes. Serve the paella with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill. Let burn down to red-hot coals; rake to edge of grill. (For backup, start a second round of coals in a charcoal chimney on pavement nearby.) Put a 16"-18" paella pan on grill grate; heat 1/2 cup olive oil. Add 3/4 lb. Spanish chorizo, sliced into 1/2"-thick rounds, and 6 stalks green garlic, thinly sliced, or 2 finely chopped leeks, white and light-green parts only; cook until golden, 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and 2 1/2 cups short-grain rice (such as bomba, Valencia, or calasparra); cook, stirring often, until rice is coated, 2 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads to 7 cups hot seafood or chicken stock. Add stock to pan and season to taste with kosher salt; stir to distribute ingredients. Let cook, undisturbed, until stock simmers and rice begins to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. Rotate pan every 2-3 minutes to cook evenly.
- Arrange 3 1-1 1/4-pound lobsters, halved lengthwise, claws cracked, over the rice. Continue cooking, rotating the pan often, as the rice swells and absorbs the stock. Add more coals from charcoal chimney to maintain even heat under the pan. Cook until the rice is almost tender and the lobster is cooked through, about 10 more minutes.
- Scatter 2 cups shelled peas or frozen peas, thawed, on top. (If the liquid evaporates before the rice is tender, add more hot stock.) Cook without stirring, allowing rice to absorb all of the liquid, so that a crust (the socarrat) develops on the bottom and the edges begin to dry out and get crusty, 5-10 minutes, for a total cooking time of about 40 minutes.
- Remove pan from grill. Cover with large clean kitchen towels and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve with 3 halved lemons, making sure to scrape some of the socarrat from the bottom of the pan onto each plate.
