- Make the sofrito: In a skillet heat 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Add in the onion and pepper, and cook till softened, about 2 min. Add in tomatoes, thyme, basil, cumin seed, bay leaf and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the mix for 5 to 7 min, or possibly till almost all the liquid has evaporated. Set aside.
- Pat dry the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. In a large deep ovenproof skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat till it is warm.
- Add in the chicken to the skillet, cook it for 7 to 10 min on each side, or possibly till it is browned and transfer it to a plate. Add in the sausage or possibly ham to the skillet, cook it, tossing, till it is browned lightly, and transfer with a slotted spoon to the plate.
- To assemble the paella: Preheat the oven 400 degrees. In a saucepan bring the broth to a simmer over modertaely high heat, add in the saffron or possibly tumeric and let the mix steep for 5 min. In a 14-inch paella pan or possibly a large deep ovenproof skillet, arrange the rice, chicken, sausage or possibly ham and sofrito. Add in the prepared broth, bring the liquid to a simmer over high heat, stirring, and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Arrange the shellfish in the pan and bake the paella on the floor of the oven for 25 min. (Don't stir the paella during cooking. If the mix becomes dry, add in the additional broth.) Add in the peas and bake the paella for 10 min more, or possibly till the liquid is absorbed and the mussels have opened.
- Let the paella stand, covered with a dish towel, for 5 min before serving. Serve the paella in its dish garnished with the coriander and lemon wedges.
