TIP: Summer chanterelles add wildly colorful accents to this classic Spanish party dish. Plenty of different colorful, edible wild mushrooms are available in the summer forests around Illinois, so don’t hesitate to use whatever is available to create this celebration of the bright season. This saffron-flavored rice dish often features shellfish or meat, but our version is deliciously vegetarian.
A bottle of Spanish wine--two are better--will please all, especially as friends show up for your wild summer paella party.
