Paella that doesn't take an hour to cook

[mollykins]

Have any of you got a recipe for paella that doesn't take an hour to cook?

Its delicious but i can't be doing with standing up for a whole hour making it and I only ever do it for 2 people, not a whole party of people.

[ummmm]

How easy was that???

Thanks, all the one's i'd seen took at least 45 mins to do.

I do this one a lot. its done in the oven and really nice, i just change the soup flavour and ingredients depending what i have in the freezer and cupboard :-)

Get some of the "Eazy Onions" saute the meat/fish of your choice until about 10 minutes short of being cooked - throw in the easy onions an some garlic and anything else you want to flavour it with - I use a bit of smoked paprika , tomato pure and some garlic - sprinkle on the rice - for speed I use basmati - pour over the stock and wine - bubble for 10 minutes - done ! takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish and the pre cooked onions seem to be the key to speed I first found them after reading Delia's cheats and they forma valuable part of my store cupboard now as they speed up so many recipes.

buy ready cooked prawns/chicken/etc. Boil rice with ingredients (15mins in m-wave) - voila

[ummmm]

But know that if you follow that advice it will taste crap...
