Was intrigued with Karen NoCa's mention of Tomato Paella so I tried it. Excellent side dish!

I made half a recipe which was perfect for 3, served along with chicken and salad. Will be adding this to my Thanksgiving menu.http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/dining/051mrex.html

I'm so glad you tried it an reported back. We love it, such a pretty dish

and a comfort food for me. I have a love of rice and tomato dishes. Here is another link with the picture that grabbed my attention. Makes me want to grab a spoon and dig in.

Actually, I replaced some of the water with wine. Karen is this the recipe?

We love the Tomato Paella with whole roasted chicken with lots of lemon flavor, plus

roasted half lemons. Ina's Tuscan Chicken is a fave. Marinated and grilled rib eye steaks are so good too, both with roasted asparagus with evoo and fresh parmigiano reggiano.

Missed your link on the first go rounds. I plan on serving the paella with ham at Thanksgiving.
