An easy/cheat version of a classic paella! Spanish flavours but made quicker for a weeknight meal.
I love paella as it reminds me of being in the sunshine and we are all dreaming of holiday vibes right now. This only took me 15 minutes to make so it was perfect for a weeknight dinner! I hope you enjoy the recipe :)
Total Cooking Time
15 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 Cod Fillets (cut into large chunks)
100g Chorizo (diced)
1 White onion (finely diced)
2 Garlic cloves (minced)
600ml Knorr Chilli & Tomato stock
150g Orzo
1 Red pepper (sliced)
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1 Handful parsley (chopped)
1/2 Lemon (juice only)
Method
1. Heat olive oil in a large pan and fry the onion, once its started to soften add the chorizo. When the oil has released from the chorizo add the garlic & red pepper and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Now add the orzo to the pan and mix well to coat in the chorizo oil. Add the 600ml of stock along with salt, pepper and the smoked paprika. Leave on a medium - high simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the orzo doesn't stick. If it starts to look a dry then add a little water.
3. After the 8 minutes the stock should have reduced a little, now reduce the pan to a low simmer and top the orzo with the cod. Put a lid on the pan and leave to cook for 5 minutes.
4. Serve with lemon juice and parsley.
