instructions

1

In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken stock until boiling.


2

In a separate large saucepan or paella pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and quickly brown the chicken and pork, 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside. To the same pan, add the onion, the garlic, the peppers, the saffron and the chorizo. Cook for 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft and chorizo is browned.


3

Return the chicken and pork to the pan and stir in the rice, tomatoes and tomato paste until well mixed and cook for 5 minutes then add the green peas. Add the boiling chicken stock little by little, stirring each addition constantly until the stock is almost absorbed.


4

Cover the paella pan with aluminum foil, and cook for 25-30 minutes, until rice is tender and meat is cooked.

Decorate with the chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
