10 minutes of prep, chock full of flavour and a complete meal in one pan.

This quick paella is a fast midweek meal made using every day ingredients.

Spaniards will probably turn their nose up at this dish.

A real Paella is loaded up with seafood and made with homemade fish stock.

I only make that on special occasions.

And its something a little different to the usual steaks on the grill :).

This is a midweek Paella.

The key to this flavour packed meal is the chorizo.

I really do encourage you to use chorizo though.

you might get it at all supermarkets nowadays.

Obviously the better the quality, the better the flavour of this dish.

I make my quick paella using Spanish paella rice which is called Calasparra.

It is a short grain rice with low starch and high absorption.

If you dont have this, substitute with normal medium grain rice.
