Paella

I made this a while ago and it is a real favourite of mine! Lots of different tastes and fairly easy to make too. All you need is one large/ deep frying pan – a good sign of an easy meal.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts (cut into small pieces)

1 packet chorizo (finely chopped)

1 packet of tiger prawns (if frozen then leave to defrost beforehand)

1 onion (finely chopped)

3 tomatoes (chopped into chunks)

3 tbspn paprika

1 litre chicken stock

1 clove garlic

Paella rice/ risotto rice (about 1 small cup for each person)

Black ground pepper

1 red pepper (roughly chopped)

2 limes

100ml white wine

Handful frozen peas (defrosted)

• Squeeze the lime juices into a bowl and place the chicken in with the lime.
• Heat a large frying pan with olive oil.
• Chop the chicken into small pieces and add to the pan. Cook for 5-10 mins.
• During this time chop the onion and garlic and then add to the pan.
• Then add the red pepper and the chorizo.
• Add the tomatoes and then the paprika and black pepper. Leave to simmer for 10 mins.
• Then add the paella rice with the white wine and stir.
• Then add half the chicken stock and stir. Keep stiring on a medium heat. Once this starts to boil down add a bit more of the mixture. Then repeat the stirring until you have used all the stock and the paella has soaked it up and cooked.
• When the rice is nearly done add the prawns and peas. Stir again and add more paprika/ pepper if needed.
• Then serve!
