  Paella Recipe  

 

Paella

It seemed like an eternity since Babs and Despinaki had got out the Paella pan. It is such a great way to use us odd ingredients in the freezer. We rinsed the paella rice and defrosted our prawns and mussels. We prepared our other ingredients which were chicken, broccoli plus stems, onions, chorizo, garlic and scotch bonnet chilli.

We browned the chicken in a lightly oiled paella pan then put it to the side and did the same with the chorizo.
