PAELLA
30 ml olive oil
6 cooked chicken joints
1 large green or red pepped, seeded and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 medium tomatoes, skinned and diced
500 ml Tastic rice
1,5 litres chicken stock
5 ml Salt
2 ml freshly ground black pepper
1 ml saffron or turmeric infused in 50 ml hot water
1 small crayfish cooked and shelled, diced
6 cooked prawns, shelled
12 cooked mussels in shells or canned mussels
12 smoked oysters
12 black olives
260 ml frozen peas
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add chicken, peppers, onion and garlic and fry until golden. Add tomatoes, rice, chicken stock, salt and pepper and simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir in saffron or turmeric. Arrange crayfish, prawns, mussels, oysters, olives and peas on top and simmer for a further 10 minutes or until rice has absorbed most of the liquid. If rice becomes too dry, add a little more stock. Serve Paella immediately.
