🍽️ TASTEBUD THURSDAY 🍽️
✨ Chorizo Paella ✨
Big flavour. One pan. Zero stress.
If you’re craving something hearty, comforting and a little bit fancy without being complicated this one’s for you.
🌶️ You’ll need:
• 1 chorizo sausage, sliced
• 1 cup arborio or medium-grain rice
• 1 red capsicum, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 cups chicken stock
• ½ cup peas
• Lemon wedges
• Fresh parsley
👩🍳 How to make it:
1️⃣ Brown the chorizo in a large pan until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ In the same pan, sauté onion, garlic and capsicum.
3️⃣ Stir in rice and smoked paprika.
4️⃣ Add stock and simmer (no stirring!) for 15–18 minutes.
5️⃣ Add peas and cooked chorizo back in.
6️⃣ Let it sit for 5 minutes to develop that golden base.
7️⃣ Top with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
Done.
Simple.
Delicious.
