Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Brine the pork tenderloin in a dish with the brine ingredients, cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours. Remove, then pat dry.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, brown the chicken pieces on all sides, then set aside.
- In a paella pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil, cook the onion until translucent, add the rice and cook a few minutes. Add the chorizo, saffron and orange juice and cook 2 minutes. Add garlic, peppers, 3/4 cup of the tomatoes, ham and stock, spreading the rice evenly.
- Arrange the chicken around the pan, bring to a boil, then transfer to the oven and bake 10-15 minutes.
- Sear the pork in a pan, then return it to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches 140°F. Rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Mix the pork rub ingredients and rub all over the tenderloin, pressing so it sticks.
- Remove the paella from the oven, add the medium shrimp, fish, scallops and fleur de sel, pressing everything under the liquid. Bake another 10-15 minutes until the fish is cooked.
- Lightly sear the large shrimp in a pan, cooking only the outside.
- For the mussels, heat olive oil in a lidded casserole, cook the onion until translucent, add thyme and garlic for 30 seconds, then add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover and cook 5-10 minutes until open, removing each as it opens without overcooking.
- Slice the pork into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces, return the paella to the oven, add the pork, chopped tomatoes and peas, and bake a couple of minutes more.
- Arrange the mussels around the pan, add lemon wedges and sprinkle with parsley.
