Tim,

It looks delicious -- but what is it and what's it called ?

Aha!! It's a Chicken, Prawn & Chorizo Saffron rice. The grandchildren came over, sneaked a spoonful & went home raving about it!!

Tim - you just cannot put things like this on ...............without providing a recipe to go with it ;D ;D. So, can you put us out of our misery and do so when you have a moment to spare please? :-* I can taste it just looking at the picture....

Nothing clever, really - just nice!!

1. Brown Chicken pieces in Olive Oil.
2. Add chopped Onion, Garlic, 1t Turmeric.
3. Add Chorizo ( I like this sort. A 2" piece cut in 4 lengthwise, peeled & then slithered), 1 cup Basmati Rice, 1 pt Chicken Stock (real!). Cover & cook 10 min.
4. Add sliced Pepper (your choice of colour), Cherry Tomatoes & Peas. Cover & cook 15 mins.

PS I always use C for cup, T for tbs & t for tsp - so much easier!!

You must be a good cook, will try this recipe and I think I have got your courgette bread one which I hear on this site is excellent.

Hi Tim,

Just drooling over your recipe - where do you buy that particular chorizo from? Just to save my legs/petrol. Or is it a local shop to you. Might make it tomorrow as I think my lot would enjoy it.

Thanks

T.

ps How many did it serve? If there was any left for you!!

"Nice" meals are much better and often more successful than "clever" ones ........ this one looks a doddle. Thanks for your recipe Tim :-*

1. Chorizo? I buy this one because it is from happy, mountain reared pigs - ours is from Burford Garden Co. No mail order. But any similar will do - sausage shape is easier.

2. Serves? A bare 4 with 2 good Chicken breasts.

Oh, by the way - forgot to mention the essential!!

Infuse a good pinch of Saffron overnight - I do it in Gin. Covered with film to keep the fragrance in.
It's for that, not colour! Add a few minutes before serving & blend in.

Oh dear, my mind is going? And forgot to add - in my case - Jumbo Prawns, cut in half, to heat through. No more. Atlantic ones would do fine.

I think that's all!!

Thanks for your help.
