Paella in an Actifry? That's not chips! I know right - but this is tasty. If you're not a fan of seafood, leave it out, and you've got a tasty chicken and chorizo paella. Don't leave out the chorizo though - it's 3 syns per serving, but the oil from the chorizo makes everything that bit more tasty!
Ingredients
- 200g of paella rice
- 800ml of water
- 500g chicken breast (diced)
- 200g cooked prawns
- 200g shelled mussels
- 100g chorizo (12 syns), sliced
- two sweet onions, sliced finely
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 large red pepper
- 1 chicken stock cube
- 1/2 tsp each of curry powder, turmeric and smoked paprika
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
Actifry route
- boil the rice in the water and stock for about five minutes, then set it aside
- select 40 minutes and 220 degrees on the Actifry
- tip everything in, shut the lid, go sit and pick your feet for forty minutes whilst it does all the hard work
- serve!
On the hob route
- in one pan, boil the rice in the water and stock for about five minutes, then set it aside
- whilst that's cooking, gently fry off the onion and pepper for about five minutes
- add the garlic and the spices and keep gently frying until everything is sweated down
- add the chicken and cook for a further couple of minutes
- tip the rice, stock and water into the onion pan, add everything else and pop the lid on, cooking and bubbling for forty minutes - make sure the chicken is cooked through, whatever you do!
- serve
