Simple Paella

Ingredients

One medium Onion

200 g of Arborio Rice

Garlic Paste

One 400g tin of chopped Tomatoes

some Paprika

200g of diced Chicken

150g of Prawns

100g of frozen Peas

A small Red and Green Pepper

One Veg stock cube

Method

Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and stir fry for four mins. Then add the Onion and Peppers[ finely chopped] stir in some Garlic paste. Cook for a further Four mins ensuring Chicken is toughly cooked through. Drain off any excess fat. Now add the Tomatoes. Mix the stock cube in 400mil of boiling water and add. Rinse the rice in a sieve and add. Bring to the boil then cover [ I find a wok lid is ideal for this] and simmer for about ten mins. Add the peas and cook for a further four five mins. By now the rice should be cooked if so then add the prawns [ defrosted if not fresh] and heat through for two mins. And that's it. As the dish cooks the Rice will absorb the water make sure it doesn't dry out by adding small amounts of water as necessary.
