Let’s bring the aromas and flavours of Spain to South Africa tonight, Chef! Salty dots of chorizo, plump peas, piquante peppers, & fresh parsley bring celebratory colour to this famous rice dish. Notes of lemon, white wine & tangy tomato passata bring it all together for a meal worth sharing (with friends, family, and on the socials!).

IT’S WINE O’CLOCK IN SPAIN
Boil a full kettle. Place a pan (big enough for the paella) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and browned, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Spanish spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the wine and cook until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
AL DENTE RICE
When almost all the wine has evaporated, stir through the rice and fry, 1-2 minutes (shifting frequently). Add the tomato passata and mix until combined. Slowly pour in 300ml of boiling water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is al dente and all the liquid has been absorbed, 15-20 minutes. If the rice is still undercooked, add an extra splash of water and simmer until al dente.
PERFECT PAELLA
Once the paella is cooked, remove from the heat and mix through the peas, ½ the drained peppers, ½ the chopped parsley, and the chopped chorizo. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Cover and allow to steam, 5-8 minutes.
GORGEOUS & GENEROUS DINNER
Dish up the paella. Scatter over the remaining peppers. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Stunning, Chef!
