Spanish Rice (Paella) with Prawns and Chorizo

Serves 2 generously.

Ingredients

1 onion , sliced

1 red pepper , cut into chunks

olive oil

100g chorizo , chopped into pieces

150g paella rice

pinch saffron

400ml chicken stock , hot

125g cooked prawns (or more if you prefer!)

1 lemon , halved

small bunch of parsley, chopped

1. Cook the onion and pepper in 2 tbsp olive oil in a wide, shallow pan until softened. Add the chorizo and cook for a couple of minutes until the oil is released. Stir in the rice until coated in all the oils. Stir the saffron into the stock then add to the pan and stir well. Put on a lid and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed.

2. Stir in the prawns until heated through completely, then squeeze over lemon and toss through the parsley.

Enjoy!

I use Spanish Chorizo not the Mexican, so no chillies in it, just spicy paprika and pork.

I like these simple recipes that cook quickly and taste gorgeous.

My husband hates fishy tastes, so I put chunks of chicken in to thoroughly cook instead and, though it's not the genuine Paella as a result, he loves it.

Yes, I tried this with chicken once when I had no seafood in the house, Helen. Worked great.
