  • 300g paella or risotto rice

Method

  1. Bring your stock to the boil, stir in the saffron and set aside.
  2. Warm the oil in your Paella Pan and fry the onion until soft.
  3. Stir in the garlic, paprika, rice and white wine. Stir in the tomatoes and stock and season with salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
