A festive Spanish rice dish with chicken, seafood and saffron, ideal for sharing from one large pan.
Serves: 8 people
Preparation time: 60 min
Ingredients
- olive oil – 4 tbsp
- chicken thighs – 800 g
- chorizo – 250 g
- onions – 2
- garlic cloves – 4
- red peppers – 2
- tomatoes – 4
- smoked paprika – 2 tsp
- paella rice – 600 g
- white wine – 200 ml
- hot stock – 1.6 l
- saffron – 1 pinch
- peas – 200 g
- mussels – 500 g
- prawns – 500 g
- lemon – 2
- flat-leaf parsley – 1 bunch
- salt – to taste
- black pepper – to taste
Method
1. Brown the chicken in a wide pan with olive oil until lightly coloured, then add the chorizo and let it release its flavour. 2. Stir in the onions, garlic, peppers and tomatoes, and cook until the vegetables soften into a rich base. 3. Add smoked paprika and rice, stir well, then pour in the wine, stock and saffron. 4. Simmer without stirring too much so the rice cooks evenly and starts to absorb the flavourful broth. 5. Nestle in the peas, mussels and prawns for the final cooking stage and cook until the shellfish are done and the mussels have opened. 6. Let the paella rest briefly, finish with parsley and lemon, and serve straight from the pan for a generous feast.
