          A handful of frozen peas
          A few strips of pimiento
          -or roasted pepper

 In a saucepan, combine the chicken stock, whole onion and
 the crushed saffron threads. Cover the pan, and simmer over
 low heat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

 Peel and devein shrimp. Wash the clams. Rinse the chicken in
 cold water and pat dry.

 Slice the chorizo into 1/8" discs. Place in a paella pan or
 skillet, and cook over medium heat until fat is rendered.
 Remove with slotted spoon, and reserve. Wash or wipe out the
 skillet. Saute shrimp in 1 tablespoon olive oil until pink;
 remove and reserve.

 Wash or wipe out the pan. Salt and pepper chicken pieces.
 Brown chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil, turning until all
 sides are browned but not fully cooked. Remove from pan and
 reserve. If desired, remove the skin from the chicken pieces
 and discard.

 Drain fat from pan. Add final tablespoon of oil to pan. Add
 onions and salt pork. Over medium-high heat, saute the
 mixture until onions are wilted. Add garlic, and saute about
 30 seconds. Add white wine, stir and cook over medium-high
 heat until most of the wine has evaporated.

 Remove pan from heat. Add paprika and tomato and parsley,
 and stir well. Return pan to heat, and cook until mixture
 thickens. Add rice, and stir until rice is coated with
 tomato mixture.

 Remove whole onion from chicken stock. Add chicken stock and
 saffron to rice mixture. Raise heat to high; stir and add
 chicken pieces, shrimp, clams, chorizo, bay leaf and lemon
 juice. Gently stir ingredients.

 Cover and cook over low heat until the rice has absorbed the
 liquid and the clam shells have opened, about 25-30 minutes.

 Five minutes before the end of cooking time, sprinkle top of
 paella with peas. Cover and continue cooking. Garnish with
 pimiento.
