Easy Paella Ahoy!


Why did I always think that paella is a bitch to cook?
It is not hard at all my friends. I just skipped the chorizo to please my vegetarian boyfriend and followed those simple instructions:
Ingredients
±olive oil
± 1 big onion sliced and chopped
± 1 tsp turmeric
± 350g long grain rice
± 1 l hot veg stock
± 200 frozen peas
± 1 big red pepper
± 400g seafood mix
± 1 lemon cut in wedges

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, then soften the onion for a few minutes. Stir in the turmeric which will give it a nice yellow colour and rice until coated by the oils, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, add the red pepper then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tip in the peas and stir in the seafood then cook for another a final 10 minutes cooking or until rice is cooked. Check for seasoning and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
