Paella

Generally Barry cooks Paella so I get the night off. So much for KFC's moms night off feast, Barry plays resident chef and I get to do the dishes. This recipe serves 8 - 10 people so it doesn't work out to be nearly as expensive as you would think!

Ingredients:

350g Chicket Fillet
200g Hake/Cod Fillet
350g Shrimps/Prawns (I like to mix them together - if you can't get them a seafood mix works)
1 Cup Rice (I use brown but either will do)
1 Cup Mixed Vegetables (frozen or fresh)
2 Chicken Stock cubes
1 Tin Smoked Mussels
Sprinkle of Parsley
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp Crushed Garlic [about 2 cloves if you use fresh]
Dash of Tumeric
Splash of Olive Oil

Method:

Cut chicken fillet into cubes [I use a scissors as it it easier than a knife] and brown in a splash of Olive Oil. Add the rice, Vegetables, Shrimps/prawns and spices. Lie the Hake/Cod fillets on top (they will flake apart on cooking)Add water to cover and cook on a low heat for 45 minutes. Add the mussels. Stir and serve.

To make a full "Fish" Evening have a Prawn/Shrimp cocktail starter
