Dinner Time - Paella Time

Last night I cooked dinner and it was pretty fantastic. I wouldn't call myself a great cook since all I make is shit that you can just chuck in together and cook for a while and it usually turns out ok. the dish in question is Paella.
For those of you playing at home (have I already used that) paella is a spanish rice dish that usually involves an ass load of seafood. I don't like seafood so I replaced it with chicken and chorizo sausage.


All you have to do first is chop up some carrots, a brown onion, a red capsicum and 1 chorizo sausage. 
Also these babies. Chic peas are the best.

After that you fry all that stuff up in some oil until the veggies get kinda soft.


Then you smash in your 400g of chicken all cut upand also 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon of tumeric and 2 teaspoons of paprika. once the chicken is cooked a bit then you pop in 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of ummmmmmm, what's it called? Arborio rice. then cook that untill it starts to bubble/boil.



once thats done, just throw it all into some kind of oven baking dish thing that's big enough to hold it all and chop up a lemon to put over the op of it. also cover it with aluminum foil and such. cook it for about 30 mins


whilst you are waiting you can enjoy a tasty mexican beer


all the rice should have puffed up and not be hard and crunchy. then you can eat it.

  2. wow, first recipe post! Nice, Keep them coming! Maybe one night our blogs can have sex, by that i mean we can do some sort of food/cooking thing together. either the same dish done two ways (by you and by me) or we could physically cook dinner in the same room.
