    Method

    1. Heat the oil in a saucepan, fry the chorizo and pepper on a medium heat for 4 minutes.
    2. Add the dry seasoning from the flavour kit, stir and cook for 1 minute.
    3. Add the rice, fry for 30 seconds, then add the paste from the flavour kit. Stir to combine.
    4. Add 400ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 15- 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.
    5. Add the peas and prawns, stir and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the prawns are pink and cooked through. For an extra finishing touch, garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge.
    • Simple swaps: Swap the prawns for chicken or veggies.
