Lazy inauthentic (but delicious) one pan paella
I joked tonight that I should rename this blog to bastardisedrecipesforthelazyandtimeshortwhohatewashingup.com, and this post might be a perfect example. Culturally bereft, easy and delicious
You will need
- Half a medium onion, diced
- Half a yellow pepper, diced
- Half a mug of rice
- Half a stock cube
- Half a lemon
- 5 inches of chorizo, diced
- A bunch of parsley
- A heaped desert spoon of paprika (ideally smoked)
- A teaspoon of tomato puree
- A good slug of wine or less sherry
- A clove of garlic, finely sliced
Do
- Stick onion, pepper, chorizo, garlic and paprika into a pan with a lid, along with a teaspoon of oil
- Cook with a lid on stirring frequently until onion as translucent and the fat is running (about ten mins on low)
- Bung in the rice, stock cube, puree and wine. Add enough water so that you’ve added twice the volume of the rice.
- Bring to a very gentle boil, then turn down and pop the lid on
- Cook until rice is tender and liquid is all gone. Stirring frequently leads to a better texture
- Serve with chopped parsley stirred through, a good scrape of black pepper and lemon wedges
Results
Probably enough to make a Spanard cry (for the wrong reasons), but a very easy and delicious mid week tea
