Poor-Cousin Paella

This is one of my favorite recipes. It's not that I follow it religiously (after all, it has tomatoes and we have a tomato allergy in the house), but the idea and the procedure are great for using up whatever bits of meat and veg are around. For the meat I use two or three of: (Spanish) chorizo or other spicy sausage, cooked turkey or chicken, cooked ham, frozen cooked shrimps or scallops. Sometimes I use the artichokes, sometimes not. The peas make in a one-dish main course. For our tastes it wants a bit of heat. I've used cayenne, but lately we prefer chipotle powder, the smokey taste goes well with the whole thing.
