Paella Recipe
37 Answers
Hi. This Thursday, i'm going to be making my first Paella. At the moment, i have a small Paella pan with king prawns, chorizo, pre cooked chicken, onion, red pepper, peas and Paella rice.....together with a schwartz Paella sachet.
Anything to add to that?....maybe some mussels or clams, tin chopped tomatoes, glass white wine? I hate sticking to recipes and i'm always looking to tweak things so if anyone has that magic thing that'll make my Paella sing, i'd love to hear about it.
Cheers, HM

I'd certainly add a couple of skinned chopped tomatoes or a spoon or two of tinned chopped ones.
Def some wine.
Personally I wouldn't go down the poor mans route of using turmeric for colour, prefer saffron for flavour.
No idea what is in the Schwartz paella mix, so my comment above may be redundant.

I agree about the saffron comment, I use saffron and fish or chicken or veg stock. I don't add wine. Not chopped tomatoes please. Secret ingredient. You need a lid for your pan...I use a big shallow lidded frying pan, a clean teatowel and a lemon...about I lemon per 4 servings. Have the lemon ready juiced. Once the paella is done, turn off the heat and quickly drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the paella and then cover the pan with one layer of the clean tea towel and put the lid back on. Let it sit for around 5 minutes while you warm the serving plates. Then serve.
