Paella Panamanian Style Recipe #32056
Regional style fish meat and rice dish. Unlike it's Spain counter part this recipe is flavored with tomato rather than saffron making it quite different. Any good Mexican pork sausage would do for the Panamanian, and if you can't find a Spanish pork sausage, try an andouille sausage, Italian sausage or chorizo combinations. Anything except American breakfast sausage!
