Method


Peel and chop the onion and chop peppers. Cut the chorizo and chicken into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the garlic and make 250ml of stock.

Heat the fry light in a large non-stick pan over medium heat and start frying the onion & garlic , Then add the chicken and cook for 5 mins. Add the chorizo and with the garlic and pepper & peas and cook for a further 5 mins, stirring regularly.

Now add the tomato puree, @barenakedfoodsofficial rice , @spicentice Paella Sachet and stir.

Pour in the stock, add a pinch of salt and black pepper and bring to the boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring now and again to avoid rice from sticking.

Add the seafood and and cook for a further 5 mins or until cooked through. Pop some foil over it and allow to rest.

Serve with lemon wedges.

Enjoy!
