Ingredients
- 150 g Bomba Paella Rice ¾ Cup
- 200 g Cooking Chorizo 7oz
- 350 g Prawns 10-12 King
- 1 Small Onion 100g
- 100 g Green Beans ¾-1 Cup
- 1 Small-Medium Tomato 100g
- 100 g Artichoke Hearts in Oil ¾ Cup
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 Pinch Saffron
- 2 Sprigs Rosemary
- 625 ml Chicken Stock 2½ Cups
Instructions
- If you are using frozen prawns, defrost them by running them under cold water.
- Remove the skins from the chorizo sausages and tear them into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut the onion in half, peel it and then cut it into a 5mm (¼") dice.
- Trim the green beans if necessary and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Grate the tomato.
- Drain the artichoke hearts and then cut them into quarters.
- Heat a paella pan over a medium-low heat, and when it is hot, add the olive oil.Add the chorizo and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring regularly. The aim is not to crisp the chorizo but to get the oils flowing.
- Throw in the onions and green beans and cook for another 3-4 mins, stirring regularly.
- Add the grated tomato and artichoke hearts and cook for a minute or until the juices of the tomato have evaporated.
- Sprinkle over the paella rice, followed by the smoked paprika.
- Pour over the chicken stock and sprinkle with the saffron, then bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes. If you find that your paella is not cooking around the edges (see Frequently Asked Questions Section), you can add a splash more liquid around the edges and transfer to a moderate oven for 5 or 6 minutes.
- Arrange the prawns on top of the dish, pressing them into the rice and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Finally, turn off the heat, cover the pan with tin foil and allow it to sit for another 7-8 minutes before garnishing and serving.
