Chicken, broad bean and chorizo rice

A basic paella-type recipe made using Spanish short-grain rice, which behaves like the Italian type used for risotto.

DifficultyEasy

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wide-bottomed pan and brown the chicken pieces all over. Remove and set aside.

  2. Add the chorizo and fry for about 1 minute. Stir in the onions, garlic, pepper and seasoning. Cover, lower the heat and ‘sweat’ for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the rice, saffron (if using) and wine. Stir and turn up the heat. Let the wine bubble fiercely for 2-3 minutes, add the stock and reduce the heat. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then add the beans and cook for 5 minutes – the rice should be tender but with bite. Stir once and rest for 5 minutes.
