So fed up of the snow I thought I would cook this to remind me of happy days in Spain. it’s not strictly Paella as I have been advised that you would never put chorizo and chicken in with seafood but I’m using poetic licence. I used quite a lot of wine probably because I started drinking it and got carried away lol.
INGREDIENTS
4 Chicken thighs
150 g Raw chorizo diced
Large onion chopped
4 cloves garlic crushed
1 red pepper
2 large glasses of white wine

Small packet Paella rice
200-400 ml Chicken stock (depending on quantity of rice)
Small piece un-died smoked haddock
1 cupful of frozen peas
400g Raw Mixed seafood (mussels, prawns, squid; clams or whatever you can get your hands on) use ready cooked if not available 2-4 teaspoons of sweet smoked paprika
1-2 teaspoons of hot smoked paprika
Pinch saffron
