Paella is traditionally a dish which is made with aborio rice but that can be quite time consuming so I have just been cheeky and created my own fun version with my basmati rice which is super quick to make!
The Simplest Paella on the planet (serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup Spice and All things nice basmati rice
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 100 g frozen peas
- 100 g prawns, 100 mussel, 100 g calamari
- 200 g hake or kingklip
Cooking Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a frying pan
- Add the garlic and onion and cook until translucent
- Add the smoked paprika, chilli, chorizo, turmeric and basmati rice
- Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then turn onto low
