    DT - Spanish paella

    22 November 2024 (by admin)

    This week, in DT, we learnt some useful cooking skills such as how to hold a knife correctly to chop vegetables and how to use a stove, before applying these skills to cook a tasty paella.

    Here is a simple recipe if you want to make it home.

    Ingredients

    1 vegetable or chicken stock cube, 300ml

    2 tbsp olive oil

    100g chorizo

    1 chicken breast

    2 onions

    2 garlic cloves

    1 red pepper

    1.5 tsp smoked paprika

    125 paella rice

    2 small tomatoes

    50g frozen peas

    flat-leaf parsley

    saffron

    Method:

    1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water
    2. Chop the chicken, keeping this separate from the vegetables
    3. Chop the chorizo.
    4. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the pan and turn it up to medium heat. 
    5. Add the chicken and chorizo to the pan for approximately 3 minutes. The chicken should change to a white colour all over. 
    6. Using a sharp knife, thinly cut the onion into slices.
    7. Crush the garlic cloves and slice them, peeling away the skin.
    8. Add the onions and garlic to the pan for 5 minutes until the garlic turns slightly translucent
    9. Carefully slice the peppers down the middle and remove the seeds with the knife.
    10. Add the peppers and the smoked paprika. 
    11. Mix the vegetable stock cube with 300 ml of hot water and stir until it is dissolved/add saffron
    12. Pour in the vegetable stock and the rice.
    13. Let it simmer for 25 minutes
    14. Add the 50g of peas.
