1/2 cups yellow onion, diced 1/4−inch  
/2 pound linguica or smoked sausage  
tablespoons olive oil  
cup red pepper, diced 1/4−inch  
teaspoon fresh thyme leaves  
/2 fresh pineapple, diced 1/2−inch  
/2 teaspoon turmeric  
mango, diced 1/2−inch  
teaspoon kosher salt  
papaya, diced 1/2−inch  
cup Arborio or paella rice  
starfruit, sliced 1/4−inch  
1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock  
tablespoons rum (optional)  
tablespoon minced garlic  
1/2 pounds 16/20 count prawns  
Slice the linguica or smoked sausage or chorizo into 1/4−inch rounds, then quarter the sausage.  
Marinate the prawns in olive oil which has been infused with saffron. Season with kosher salt and  
crushed red pepper. In addition, other seafood may be added such as clams and mussels.  
Cook the onion in half the olive oil until translucent over medium−high heat. Add the thyme, turmeric,  
salt and rice. Stir well. Add the stock, stir once and set on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until just al  
dente.  
In large sauce pan, warm the garlic in the remaining olive oil and add the diced red pepper. Add the  
fruit, sausage and prawns and sauté for one minute. Add the rum and cook for another minute to burn  
off the alcohol. Add the cooked rice. Toss all together carefully until thoroughly incorporated. Moisten  
with a little more stock if necessary.  
Mound the paella in a bowl or on a plate. Garnish the paella with two spears of pineapple, some sliced  
chives and sliced starfruit if desired.  
Yields 8 servings.
