Paella is a classic Spanish dish, it’s easy to make, unlike risotto it doesn’t need constant attention.\u00a0 This recipe is very traditional but it’s easy to mix it up using different types of meat and fish<\/p>\n
Serves<\/strong> Cooking time<\/strong> Ingredients<\/strong> Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n Heat the olive oil in a paella pan (or large frying pan) and fry the chorizo until slightly crispy and remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper.<\/p>\n Add the onion and peppers to the pan and fry for a few minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and chicken and fry for a few minutes more. Add the rice and mix well with everything in the pan.<\/p>\n Add the wine or sherry and allow to bubble until this liquid has almost evaporated.<\/p>\n Add the saffron to the stock.<\/p>\n Add the chilli flakes and peas to the pan then pour over the stock. Place the prawns and tomatoes around the pan and push them in so they are just covered by the stock. Season. Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat and allow to simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed into the rice and everything is cooked – about 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n Serve garnished with the parsley and lemon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paella is a classic Spanish dish, it’s easy to make, unlike risotto it doesn’t need constant attention.\u00a0 This recipe is very traditional but it’s easy to mix it up using different types of meat and fish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,14,23,30,34],"tags":[45,51],"class_list":["post-327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicken-recipes","category-fish-recipes","category-main-course-recipes","category-rice-dishes","category-spanish-recipes","tag-chicken-recipes","tag-fish-recipes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
