Recipe: Paella with chicken and chorizo (serves 4)
Ingredients
- 500–600 grams chicken breast or thigh, diced
- 200 grams of Serra de Rodes chorizo (available again at the end of August 2026)
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 350 grams Serra de Rodes paella rice
- 6 large tomatoes
- 1.2 to 1.4 litres of chicken stock
- 1 jar of Serra de Rodes sliced peppers
- 15 grams of Serra de Rodes paella spice mix
- 150 grams frozen peas
- Serra de Rodes olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method:
1. Brown the chicken
Heat a splash of Serra de Rodes olive oil in a large pan. Cook the diced chicken for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the aromatics
Add the onion, garlic and chorizo. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the chorizo releases its flavour.
3. Add the rice
Add the Serra de Rodes paella rice and briefly fry until the grains become translucent.
4. Add the tomato
Grate the tomatoes, leaving only the skins behind. Add the tomato pulp to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Stock and spices
Add the stock and Serra de Rodes paella spice mix. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.
Leave the paella to simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir as little as possible for the best texture.
6. Final step
Add the peas during the last 5 minutes. Then let the paella rest for another 5 minutes.
Enjoy!
