Spanish Rice and Prawn One Pot

"This recipe from BBC Good Food is a quickie version of paella. It is made with basmati rice which shortens the cooking time considerably. It is a great recipe for a weeknight meal and it reheats well. In fact, it tastes better the second time around!"

directions

  • In a non-stick frying pan, fry the onion, peppers, chorizo and garlic in the oil over high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the rice, tomatoes and boiling water.
  • Cover and cook over high heat for 12 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir - the rice should almost be tender at this point.
  • Stir in the prawns, with a bit more water if the rice looks dry.
  • Cook for another minute until the prawns are just pink and the rice tender.

  1. I made this for our dinner last nightI used stock instead of water and without scales with me as I travel, guessed 1 cup of rice would need 2 cups of water to cook it. That worked just fine. We had tabasco and lemon juice at the table and these really lifted the dish.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
