Daring Cooks Rice with Mushrooms, Cuttlefish and Artichokes

This month's Daring Cooks challenge hosted by Olga from Las Cosas de Olga and Olga?s Recipes is Rice with Mushrooms, Cuttlefish and Artichokes. Since I'm allergic to fish and seafood I substituted chicken. This recipe is easy, delicious, time consuming, but a really fun challenge.

It included three elements: a Sofregit, Allioli, and the Rice. I have never had paella before but this dish came together quite easily. The allioli was a bit of a challenge for me because I didn't have a pastel and mortar. I used an immersion blender in a cylinder, which worked, but I had to keep scraping it out and it was a little frustrating. But the allioli really added a ton of flavor to the dish.

The recipe for this delicious meal can be found on the Daring Kitchen's website.
