Ingredients:  
5 tbsp slivered almonds
2 medium red bell peppers
2 medium yellow peppers
2 medium green peppers
7 tbsp minced parsley
7 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt
6 jarred anchovy fillets, chopped
1/3 c grated Spanish Manchego cheese

1/4 c peas
3 c Spanish rice (or Arborio short grain)
Directions:
Directions:
Place almonds on baking sheet and cook until golden, about 8 minutes, at 350º.

Roast peppers until charred. Place in paper bag to steam. Remove skin when cooled. Cut one pepper of each color into 1/2" strips. Chop remaining peppers. Lower temp of oven to 450 for electric and 400 for gas.

Add cooled almonds to processor or motor along with parsley, garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, and mash as fine as possible. Mash in anchovies using 2 tsp broth to facilitate. Add cheese and 2 more tsp broth and mash more.

Combine broth with saffron and keep warm hot (not boiling) over lowest heat.

Heat oil in 17" paella pan or casserole pan. Saute onions over medium heat until soft. Raise heat and add tomato, peas, chopped peppers, and cook roughly 3 min. Stir in dry rice until all rice is coated with oily mixture. Pour in broth and bring to boil. Add mortar mixture and salt to taste. Turn, stir, and continue boiling pan until you can drag your spoon through it and leave a trail but enough liquid remains to continue cooking the rice. About 5 minutes.

Arrange pepper strips in star pattern on top. Add cleaned mussels or clams to top of paella if desired. Transfer to oven for 10-12 min gas oven or 15-20 min electric oven, until rice is al dente. Remove and cover with foil. Allow rice to steam from 5-10 minutes. Discard any shell fish that did not open.

Enjoy!ºº
