Ingredients
- 1.2 litres chicken stock from cubes is fine, I use 2 Kallo organic chicken stock cubes
- Pinch of saffron
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 2 medium sized tomatoes finely chopped
- 300 g paella rice
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ to 1 teaspoon chilli flakes or to taste
- 75 g green beans trimmed and cut in half
- 100 g frozen peas
- 450 g uncooked prawns (defrosted if frozen)
- 2 lemons cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon parsley (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- First make up your stock using the chicken stock cubes and boiling water. Add a pinch of saffron to the stock and stir.
- Put the olive oil in a wide, deep sauce pan and add the sliced onions and peppers. Cook on a low heat with the lid on for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not brown.
- Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes and cook for another minute with the lid off, stirring occasionally.
- Add the smoked paprika and chilli flakes. Stir and cook for another minute.
- Add the rice, stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the stock and bring to the boil. Give everything one last stir and cook for 20 minutes on a low heat, with the lid off.
- After 20 minutes add the green beans, prawns and peas. Give everything a quick stir and cook for 5 minutes, until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- Add the juice from two of the lemon quarters and the parsley. Stir one last time and serve garnished with more parsley and the remaining lemon wedges.
