In extra large paella pan, heat oil. Saute chicken and pork. When almost browned, add chorizo and cook all until all browned. Add onions and red peppers. Cook a few minutes. Add rice and cook to lightly brown the rice. Add wine and cook until almost completely evaporated. Mix 1/4 c. chicken stock with saffron threads and add to pan. Stir. Add small amounts of chicken stock and cook stirring occasionally until stock is absorbed. Continue this process until rice is close to complete. Add peas and more stock and continue to cook. Cover lightly with foil or a lid to aide in the cooking of the rice. If your pan fits in the oven, you can finish the cooking process in the oven (foil covered).

Personal Notes:
It is appropriate for the rice to "stick" a bit to the bottom of the pan crating a crust like crunchy base. Amounts of meat, veggies, rice, stock can all be adjusted as desired to amount of people and type of paella desired. Any shell fish or fish can be included as well.
