Easy Store Cupboard Paella

This Easy Store Cupboard Paella is one of our family fav meals to make for dinner. I usually make it every other week – the kids love it, it’s super filling and I always got the ingredients stored in my cupboard/freezer – rice, frozen peas and frozen seafood mix.

Ingredients:

1 small onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves crushed

200g rice

350g seafood mix, frozen

500ml chicken stock

80g chorizo, sliced

120g peas, frozen

2-3 saffron threads soaked in water for an hour

120ml passata

50g butter

2tbsp olive oil

1 lemon

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Heat a pan with the olive oil and butter and gently sweat the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the chorizo, rice and chicken bouillon, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. If necessary, add more water and keep stirring occasionally.

Stir in the peas, passata, saffron and seafood mix and leave for another 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat, squeeze fresh lemon juice and serve with extra slices.

Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley, if wished.
