1 teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons dried cilantro
1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 lemon, juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 lb seafood, cubed (mixed fish and shellfish)
8 ounces long grain rice
2 pints chicken stock

Steps:

  • Place the chili, paprika, cilantro, garlic cumin and lemon juice in a dish and mix well. Pour half over the chicken and the remainder over the fish selection. Cover and marinade for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a very large, deep sided, frying pan and add the rice. Toss over a low-heat until the rice grains are well coated.
  • Heat the stock and gradually add to the rice, stirring occasionally.
