Dare I call this dish paella? Well this Spanish inspired rice dish is a regular dish in our house.
I diced a red onion, red pepper and mushrooms. In a hot large frying pan, I put some olive oil and I cooked off some smoked pancetta bacon.
I then added the diced onion and pepper. When this was softened, I added 250g of paella rice. I ensured that this was then coated with the peppers and onions in the pan. I let this cook for a minute or so before adding a jar of paella paste from Waitrose.
After stirring in the paste I added some chicken stock. Stirred once and left it to cook.
Before serving I added some cooked sliced chorizo and chunks of lemon.
I served it with some pan fried tuna steaks.
