Ingredients
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 1 small carrot, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 sprigs thyme
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 yellow capsicum, sliced
- 100g green beans
- ½ cup peas
- 10–12 cherry tomatoes
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2½ cups stock or broth
- 300g black rice
- 12 raw prawns, peeled & deveined
- Olive oil, to serve
- Lemon juice, to serve
Method
- Add onion to heavy-based frying pan over low heat and sauté until soft.
- Add carrot, garlic, paprika, thyme, bay leaves, capsicum, beans, peas and cherry tomatoes and stir.
- Add tinned tomato and stock and bring to simmer.
- Add rice and stir through so it’s evenly distributed. Try not to stir rice again — you want a lovely crust on bottom of pan, a trademark of traditional paella.
- Cover and simmer like this for about 10 mins.
- Uncover and gently press prawns into mix, then continue to cook until rice is cooked and you have a lovely crust forming on bottom.
- Serve with drizzle of olive oil and good squeeze of lemon juice.
