Seafood and Chicken Paella instructions
-
Heat half the olive oil and butter in a large flat bottom pan over medium heat. Get another pan ready for your seafood for later, and a pan with a tight fitting lid for your mussels for later..
-
Fry chicken breasts for a couple of minutes to seal the meat and then remove from pan and set aside..
-
Fry chorizo until slightly crisp. Get your hot chicken stock ready and add saffron to the stock..
-
Add onions and 5 cloves of garlic and fry until soft..
-
Add thyme, chilli flakes and rice. Stir until rice is coated with oil. Turn down heat if rice starts to stick to the bottom of the pan..
-
Add paprika and 3/4 cup of wine. The rest of the wine you will use for the mussels later..
-
When wine starts to bubble add the part cooked chicken and about 1 and 1/2 pints of chicken stock. Add tomatoes, peppers and peas. Turn down heat and cook for about 10 minutes. Don't take your eye of the pan because this rice is like a sponge. If it sticks or feels to thick add a little more stock. If is to thin it will reduce down so don't panic..
