This is a quick & simple take on the spanish dish. You can include chicken or seafood, however I cook this recipe without as a cheaper alternative. For a vegetarian paella simply use a vegetable stock instead of chicken. It only takes around 40 minutes to prepare & cook, so its a great recipe for a midweek dinner. You will need the following:
- 2tbs olive oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced

- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 3 peppers, chopped
- 1 cup of peas
- 3 tomatoes, chopped into quarters
- 1tsp Paprika
- 800ml of Chicken or Vegetable stock
- 300g Paella rice
Prepare the ingredients listed above. Poor 2 tbs olive oil into a large saucepan or frying pan - preferably one with a lid. On a medium heat, fry the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the peas and cook with the lid on for a further 5 minutes, stirring the vegetables occasionally.
Add the paprika, chopped tomatoes, 800ml of stock and the paella rice and stir well. Bring to the boil and turn down to simmer gently for around 20 minutes or until the stock has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
prevent any ingredients burning at the bottom of the pan.
Test the rice is cooked, if it still needs a bit longer but the stock has been absorbed, add a little bit more stock.Before serving season well with salt and pepper.Enjoy and let me know your thoughts or if you added anything else!

I love Paella, it's something I always order if it's on a menu at restaurants, this one looks lovely, plus nice and simple! Bet this would taste banging with some chorizo in it. Cheers for the recipe :)
