Emma Rice

This is technically a sausage paella. However, we call it Emma rice because my good friend Emma, who is from Spain, made it for us when Jared was born. It was so yummy! Don't leave out the garbanzo beans and put in about 3 times the garlic and you will love it!

4 Potatoes,Peeled, cut in ovals
1 package Little Smokies (or other sausage sliced)
1/2 pound Bacon
6 Garlic Cloves
1 can Garbanzo Beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups Rice
4 1/2 c ups Water
1 tsp Beef Bouillon

Fry potatoes in hot oil, 1 layer of potato at a time. Do the same with the sausage and bacon. Take out most of the oil, then cook garlic in it until it starts to get a little golden. Remove. Add the uncooked rice so it can get coated with the oil (about 1 minute.) Put all the ingredients in a 13X9 baking dish, add the beans and spices. Add saffron to the water to get a yellow color. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes from when it starts bubbling (about 30-35 minutes total).
