Easy Paella
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 red pepper seeded, sliced
- 1 red onion peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
- 1/2 cup long-grain rice
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 bay leaf
- 10 ounces cooked chicken chopped
- 12 shrimp peeled, tails left intact, deveined
- 12 mussels scrubbed, beards removed
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- green olives
- crusty bread
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Saute the tomato, pepper, onion and garlic for 4-5 mins or until the onion is tender. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 min until coated in oil.
- Stir in the stock, lemon juice, turmeric and bay leaf, then season to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20-25 mins or until the rice is tender and the liquid is almost absorbed.
- Stir in the chicken, shrimp, mussels and peas. Cook until the mussels open (discard any unopened mussels, as these should not be eaten) and shrimp is cooked through.
- Serve the hot paella accompanied with stuffed green olives and crusty bread, if desired.
