Easiest ever paella | kukskitchen

Most cuisines have their verison of a rice dish. Biriyani (India), Rissotto (Italy), Fried rice (China), Paella (Spain) and so on. Today I post here one of my favouite recipes from Spain - Paella.  This, I am afraid, is a British-household-mum's take on this Espanol classic. Traditionists might say this is not a typical Paella. Some dont add sea food to paella and chorizo is a no no too. There are several other rice rishes like (arroz con bogavante, arroz a la asturiana, arros brut, arroz al caldero, arroz a la banda...)




A few things before we start:

• You can add chicken thighs and legs to this to make it a high protein dish.
• Use paella rice for a creamier taste.
• Use fresh seafood and peas for a fresher taste.
• Use lemon wedges and chopped parsley to serve if serving for guests.
