Today I want to make it ahead. Can I put it all together and put in fridge, take out this evening and cook? Will the rice get soft sitting in that liquid? I will be using the Bomba rice.http://wednesdaychef.typepad.com/the_wednesday_chef/2007/09/mark-bittmans-t.html

I make this during the summer when the tomatoes are at their peak

Sure you can Karen. Or bake it now and reheat later. Dishes like this are sometimes better reheated.
I've made paellas but not this particular one- In my opinion they are usually better the second time around because the flavors "marry"- you may have to add more liquid when reheating but a dish like this is sort of bulletproof so either put all together and finish tonight or bake it now and reheat tonight.

I would make it to the point before adding the rice, refrigerate, then reheat and continue
with the recipe. The rice and wine can be pre-measured and at the ready
Or, I would do as Cathy suggests and finish the dish then reheat later. I don't know what would happen with uncooked rice sitting in liquid.
It looks wonderful!

I made it ahead of time and don't know why I was apprehensive
because I have made it so many times, and it is even better the next day. I will drizzle with just a little evoo later, then reheat. It is a beautiful dish and the rice is so flavorful.
If you or anyone tries it, please let me know how you liked it. The summer tomatoes are great right now. The smoked paprika and saffron really shine in the rice.
