Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

400g can chopped tomatoes
600ml chicken stock
1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
2 pinches of saffron
1 onion , chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed or finely chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
300g paella rice
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut in half
200g chorizo , sliced
85g frozen peas
150g raw king prawns , peeled if you like
250g mussels , cleaned
1 lemon , quartered (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Combine the tomatoes, stock, paprika and saffron in a large heatproof jug, then microwave for 5 mins on high, or until steaming hot. Or, heat in a pan on the hob.
  • Put the onion and garlic in a large ovenproof frying pan or roasting tin, drizzle over the olive oil and stir to coat. Roast for 20 mins, or until the veg is starting to brown.
  • Stir in the rice, chicken, chorizo and hot stock mix. Season and bake for 20 mins (don't cover the pan).
  • Gently stir in the peas, dot over the prawns and press the mussels in, hinged-side down, so they're standing up. Arrange the lemon wedges around the edge, if using. Bake for 5-10 mins more until the rice, chicken and prawns are cooked, and the mussels have opened (discard any that stay shut). Check for seasoning, and serve.
