Boil a full kettle. Place a pan, big enough for the paella, over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft and browned, shifting occasionally. Add the rub and the tomato paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting occasionally. Pour in the golden wine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until almost evaporated.
FLAVOURFUL RICE
When almost all the wine has evaporated, stir through the rice, ½ the chopped pickled peppers, and the chopped chorizo. Fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting frequently. Add the tomato passata and mix until combined. Slowly pour in 350ml of boiling water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is al dente and all the liquid has been absorbed. If the rice is still undercooked, add an extra splash of water and simmer until al dente.
PREP STEP
While the paella is simmering, zest and cut the lemon into wedges. Rinse, pick and roughly chop the parsley.
KEEP IT ZESTY
Once the paella is cooked, top with the mussels, the peas, and ½ the chopped parsley. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice, the lemon zest (to taste), a sweetener of choice (to taste), salt, and pepper. Cover with tinfoil and let the paella steam, off the heat, for 5-8 minutes.
