Tasty paella
This is a budget-friendly version of a classic dish. You could use fresh mussels instead of the seafood mix.
Instructions
Step 1 Heal oil in a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, tomato and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add rice and stir to coat grains evenly.
Step 2 In a saucepan, heat stock and water until hot, then add to frying pan. Add turmeric and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rice should retain its shape and be slightly firm.
Step 3 Add seafood and shrimps. Mix well to distribute evenly through rice. Cook for a further 8–10 minutes or until heated through. Add peas during final 5 minutes of cooking seafood. Season with pepper. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with salad.
