Beachside paella
Preparation time - less than 30 mins
Cooking time - 10 to 30 mins
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
75g chorizo
2 onions
1 red and 1 yellow pepper
2 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
, 150g/5½oz green beans
3 garlic cloves
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 good pinches saffron threads
1 bay leaf
175g/6oz paella rice
1 litre hot chicken stock
500g/1lb 2oz live mussels
1 medium squid
12 raw prawns
flaked sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
lemon wedges, for squeezing
Method
1. Heat the oil in a paella pan. A paella pan is best, but if you don’t have one, use a very wide, shallow non-stick saucepan or flameproof casserole dish.
2. Place the pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper and fry them for about five minutes. Add the chorizo and cook
for 30 seconds more. Transfer the chicken and chorizo to a large heatproof bowl leaving the fat in the pan.
3. Add the onions to the pan and fry gently for 4–5 minutes until softened and very lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add the peppers and green
beans to the onions and cook for two minutes until they are beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, saffron, bay leaf and rice and cook
for 1–2 minutes.
4. Return the chicken and chorizo to the pan, along with any juices. Stir well, then pour in the chicken stock and season with black pepper. Stir once or
twice and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Tip the mussels into the partly cooked rice mixture and stir once more, making sure they are well tucked into the hot rice and steaming liquid. Return to
a simmer and cook for three minutes or until most of the mussels have opened, stirring occasionally.
6. Scatter the squid and prawns over the top of the paella and stir well. Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes until the squid and prawns are cooked, the rice
is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed. The prawns should be completely pink when cooked.
7. Add a splash more water if the paella begins to look very dry before the rice is ready. Pick out any mussels that haven’t opened by the end of the
cooking time and chuck them away. Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing.
