Last Nights Dinner

Paella

Ingredients:

Olive oil

Garlic clove

1 Chopped onion

Paella rice

1 Red pepper

2 Chopped tomatoes

Half bottle white wine

Handful large prawns

Handful small prawns

Handful mussels

Half pound or 400 grams chicken fillets

Half pound or 400 grams white fish

Small chorizo sausage

1 Stock cube

Handful of peas

Saffron strands

Method:

Fry chopped onion and garlic in a little olive oil

Add paella rice and fry for a few minutes

Add chopped chicken and fry until lightly browned

Add chorizo at this point and fry a little to release the oils

Put saffron and stock cube in a mug and cover with boiling water

Pour a little wine into the paella and stir

Add the wine in small amounts until reduced

Now add the stock cube mixture and saffron through a sieve to leave saffron strands behind

When the rice is cooked add the peas and the white cubed fish

Put the chopped tomato and prawns and mussels into the pan and warm through for a few more minutes

Decorate with chopped herbs and serve

This was only my second attempt at Paella and it turned out really well. Do try it.
