"This paella dish was delicious and a crowd pleaser...however...I probably won't make it again because I felt that the time involved wasn't worth the overall outcome. My favorite part of the cooking process was making the ham hock broth, and I agree with others who have reviewed this that it's the secret ingredient! I served this as a main course of a Spanish themed dinner party, which began with a series of tapas. I would recommend not planning appetizers that are too involved (even better if they can be pre-prepared completely) when making this meal because once you begin adding the ham hock broth, there isn't a lot of "unactive" cook time for preparing other things as well. Yummy (I introduced several of my guests to the dish!) and glad I made it, but I won't be repeating it anytime soon."
