Cooking Steps

Prepare
1

Prepare the stock. Chop the onion and cut the carrot into thin crescents. Chop the bell pepper into strips. Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut into thirds. Cut the tomato into wedges and transfer to a bowl along with the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss well to combine.

Fry the vegetables
2

Heat half of the olive oil in a large wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion and the carrot with the turmeric and the piri piri seasoning* for 3 minutes, then stir in the bell pepper and fry for 2 more minutes.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Make the paella
3

Add the tomato paste and fry for 1 minute, then add the risotto rice and 300ml stock per person (you will use the rest of the stock later). Bring to a boil and allow the rice to cook gently for 15 minutes, covered, stirring regularly. Add the green beans and cook for 10 more minutes.

Fry the proteins
4

Cut the lemon into wedges and finely chop the parsley. Cut the chicken into strips. Pat the shrimp dry with kitchen paper. Heat the rest of the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken with the chorizo and the shrimp for 3 minutes (see Tip).

Tip: the proteins don't need to be done yet as they'll finish cooking later in the paella.

Combine
5

Remove the lid and stir in the rest of the stock, then transfer the shrimp, chicken and chorizo to the paella, along with their cooking juices. Mix well and allow to cook gently for 3 more minutes, or until the chicken and shrimp are done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Serve the paella on plates and squeeze over 1 lemon wedge per person. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the tomato salad and the rest of the lemon wedges alongside.

Did you know... tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant lycopene. Antioxidants protect our cells and organs against free radicals, which are harmful substances produced by UV radiation and air pollution.
