Instructions

Process

  1. Preparation
    1. Grind the saffron and soak it in the stock
  2. Cook the chorizo until lightly browned, 1 minute, then transfer to a plate (leaving the released oil)
  3. Season the chicken with a little salt then cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, approx 3 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Add the onion to the chorizo oil, cook 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the pepper, cook 4-5 minutes
  6. Add the garlic and anchovy, cook 30 seconds
  7. Add the tomato & paprika, cook 5-8 minutes until red and oily
  8. Add the rice, stir 30-60 seconds to coat and lightly saute
  9. Add the saffron/stock mixture etc, and cook, stirring, for 30s. No more stirring.
  10. Bring to a boil and simmer hard for 6-7 minutes
  11. Add back the chicken and chorizo, and newly add the prawns (if the standard version)
  12. Continue simmering for up to 10 more minutes - until the rice has mostly absorbed the liquid and is al dente. Some of it should be toasting at this point.
  13. Finish toasting - high heat for 30-60s until you can smell toastiness then immediately remove from heat.
  14. Let sit for 5 minutes before stirring in the lemon juice and serving.
