Breakfast Paella

Ive had Paella once at a farmer’s market in Vancouver, WA. That was 11 years ago. It was so delicious and looked so complicated that I never entertained the idea of making it. Well, when you go camping but you wanna cook like your glamping, you gotta get creative.

We made this Paella for breakfast. Super easy. Super tasty. The best part about this dish is that if you use pre-seasoned, yellow rice, you don’t need to season with anything else.

• 1 Package of bacon

• 32 oz can of crushed tomatoes

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1 pack of seasoned yellow rice

• A few Spanish olives

• 5-6 eggs

• Around 3 cups of water

Chop and then render the bacon down in a cast iron skillet until completely cooked. Add garlic into the cooking bacon and stir immediately. Don’t let this sit too long or it will burn. Stir in the can of tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Add rice and cook for maybe 3-5 minutes. This allows the seasoning that’s in the rice to start working it’s way into the cooking liquid. Pour in the water, bring it to a simmer, add olives and cover to let it cook until the rice is almost finished. You really want a chew on that rice.

Last step is crack a couple eggs into the rice, cover for another minute and you’re done!
