Ingredients:
  • 4 Cloves garlic

  • 1 Onion

  • 3 Whole tomatoes

  • 1 Yellow pepper

  • 1 Tsp Paprika

  • 150ml White wine

  • 3 Chicken breasts

  • 3 Tbsp Parsley

  • 1 Tsp Saffron

  • 1 Tsp Cayenne

  • 1 Tsp Thyme

  • 400g Rice

  • 800ml Chicken stock

  • 165g Prawns

  • 200g Calamari

  • 100g Mussels

  • 1 Lemon

  • Oil

  • Salt & Pepper

Method:
  • Step 1

    Roughly chop your tomatoes into eighths as well as chopping your pepper, garlic and onion then chopping your chicken into small bite sized pieces.

  • Step 2

    Put some oil into a pan with a lid and use a medium heat to fry the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes then add your chopped tomatoes, paprika, salt and pepper cook for a further 4 minutes until jammy.

  • Step 3

    Pour your white wine into the pan, stir and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Add your chicken pieces as well as 2 Tbsp of your parsley, cayenne, thyme, saffron and rice, combine everything together with a good mix and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Now slowly add your chicken stock mixing as you do. You want an even spread of rice across your skillet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in.

  • Step 6

    Now turn the heat down to a low heat and leave to simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes until the rice is soft and has absorbed the stock.

  • Step 7

    When your rice becomes soft you can now add all of the seafood, distribute evenly across your paella, leave to cook for 5 minutes if more water is needed add some at this point.

  • Step 8

    When serving pour the rest of your parsley over as well as a lemon wedge. Now dig in!
