FRY & SIMMER
Boil a full kettle. Dilute the stock with 350ml [750ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water and set aside. Place a pan (large enough for the paella) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, the NOMU rub, and ½ the peppers. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Stir through the risotto rice until combined, 1-2 minutes. Mix through the cooked tomatoes and slowly add in the diluted stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and gently simmer until the rice is al dente and all the stock has been absorbed, 15-20 minutes.
TOASTY & NUTTY
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ZESTY Peas
Once the paella is cooked, add ½ the lemon juice (to taste) and season. Remove from the heat and stir through the Peas. Cover with tinfoil and allow the paella to steam, 5-8 minutes.
GOLDEN Halloumi
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the Halloumi slabs until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces.
