Paella (Spanish Rice)



PAELLA (SPANISH RICE)

Ingredients :

500 g Basmati rice
2 chicken fillets ~ cubed
200 g fillet steak ~ cubed
200 g prawns ~ shelled, deveined and washed
1 each green and red pepper ~ diced
1 teaspoon green chillies ~ crushed
100 g green onions ~ finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon saffron
2 cubes chicken stock or homemade stock
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic ~ crushed
1 cup oil
100 g parsley ~ finely chopped
2 tablespoon lemon juice

Method :

1. Cook the rice with tumeric, saffron, chicken stock, 1/2 cup oil and salt to taste. Once done, leave aside.
2. Fry individually the steak and chicken cubes with the salt, pepper, green chillies and garlic.
3. Stir-fry the peppers in a tablespoon of oil.
4. Similarly fry the prawns in 2 tablespoons oil with the lemon juice.
5. To the cooked rice, add the stir-fried chicken, steak, prawns, peppers and toss lightly.
6. Decorate with chopped green onions and parsley. Serve hot.

Note :

1. I didn't cube the chicken and steak, but sliced it.
2. Didn't put any prawns.
3. Green and red pepper = green and red capsicum
4. Green chillie, I think cili padi
5. Green onions, not sure????
6. Didn't put saffron because I don't have any. Naseem said, it's for color and flavour as well.
7. Psst...I used cube chicken stock..hihihi
8. Didn't put parsley, not available in the house.
9. To give an extra tangy hot taste, I ate this Paella with Nando's sauce..yummy!
