Paella with Sausage Shrimp and Lamb

I found a recipe that matched what I had in the house that day (well almost)
I am beginning to be real fond of Paella because it is so versatile...
and YEAH I KNOW I'm gettin a Paella pan!

Paella with smoked sausage, shrimp and lamb cutlets
For prep:
Heat 2 cups chicken stock and add 1/4 tsp saffron threads, some salt and pepper to taste
Season 4 - 6 Lamb cutlets with Fresh ground Salt and Pepper
Sear Lamb in Olive oil, set aside.
Saute Shrimp, and then saute cut-up sausage in same pan, and set aside.

Add a couple of minced cloves of garlic in the same pan, and chopped onion.
Saute in julienned red pepper and green beans till just soft.
Add 1 tbs paprika and 1 tsp red pepper flakes and mix together.
Add 1 1/2 C rice, and mix in till blended
Add 1 can Diced Tomatoes, drained
Mix in Saffron and Chicken Stock
Sprinkle approx 1 tbs fresh rosemary over the top

Add Sausage , mix in, and simmer for about 20 min
top with Cutlets and Shrimp
Simmer another 10-20 minutes or until rice is to your liking
Note: I am in high altitude and so the rice needs a bit more liquid and to cook a little longer up here...Sea level may be about 20 minutes total, in which case mix all ingredients and top with cutlets... do not stir the paella.
