I was so looking forward to making a good Paella from a renowned chef, BUT when I read the instructions it certainly did not make sense to me. The recipe calls for ONE chopped onion to be sweated in a thin layer of olive oil for 1 1/2 hours on low heat, then add ONE seeded & peeled tomato & saute with said onion for one more hour. That certainly does not seem right to me. Is there an error in the typing or am I incorrect I would appreciate someone at Food Network checking this out Thank you in advance
