Never am I happier than when I’m beside a big ole pan of Paella!🥘
With a heatwave on the way I challenged myself to recreate this amazing dish within 30 minutes for last nights slot on @bbcoxford with @itsmeadamball
It’s a long way from the traditional recipe as I’ve had to make a few cheats to get the time down but I think it still tastes pretty good and will give you a taste of summer without the faff!
If you fancy making it, here’s the recipe...
30 minute ‘Paella’
Serves 4
Olive oil
1 chopped onion
2 crushed garlic cloves
Red pepper
Chorizo chunks
250g Paella rice
500mls Chicken stock
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
A pinch of saffron
Cooked Prawns
Lemon wedges
Use a wide pan (or paella pan) and saute the onion, pepper, garlic & chorizo for 5 - 10 mins or until the chorizo is browned.
Add the paella rice & paprika and mix.
Pour in the stock, saffron & seasoning and simmer for 15 minutes- you’re not supposed to stir it from this point, let a crust form on the bottom to get that smokey flavour.
Add the prawns for a few minutes at the end.
Serve with lemon wedges & a big fat glass of Sangria🍹
Feel instantly happier ❤️🍴
