Ultimate Paella Recipe

Today was a lazy day and I was treated to a lovely lunch of Paella made by Charles.

Ingredients:

1 onion diced

200g Chorizo

3 Chicken Breasts

1 cup Paella Rice

1 Litre Chicken Stock

6 strands Saffron

150g Squid

300g Prawns

1 cup peas

salt and pepper

pinch cayenne pepper

Method

Chop chorizo into chunks and fry over a high heat to extract the oils. Remove from pan and add the onions, cooking until translucent.  Once the onions are cooked add the chicken breasts. Once the chicken is cooked add the rice and coat every grain in the oil. Add the stock and leave rice, stirring occasionally. Once the rice is just cooked, add the peas, squid and prawns stirring to cook.

leave the paella on a low heat until all of the stock is absorbed. If you find that the rice is too dry add more stock or hot water to loosen it up.

once the rice is cooked or ‘al dente’ add lemon or lime wedges and season to taste.

serve and enjoy
