The sun may have gone, but fear not, you can imagine that you’re in sunny Spain with this delicious paella recipe.

What you’ll need:

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 leek or onion, sliced

  • 1-2 chicken fillets
  • 1 tsp. turmeric

  • 400g frozen seafood mix, defrosted

What you’ll need to do:

  2. Add the chopped chicken fillet pieces, ensure that they are cooked thoroughly without browning on the outside.
  3. Add the chorizo and fry until it releases its oils. Stir in the turmeric and rice until coated by the oils, then pour in the stock.
  4. Bring the ingredients to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tip: The best thing about paella is that any ingredients can really work with this dish. So, if you’re not a fan of chicken, you can swap it for your favourite meat, fish or veg instead.
