About

Spanish rice & prawn one-pot is listed as seafood from Spain. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown were read from those steps.

Ingredients

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Boil the kettle. In a non-stick frying or shallow pan with a lid, fry the onion, peppers, chorizo and garlic in the oil over a high heat for 3 mins. Stir in the rice and chopped tomatoes with 500ml boiling water, cover, then cook over a high heat for 12 mins.

    15 min
  2. Step 2

    Uncover, then stir – the rice should be almost tender. Stir in the prawns, with a splash more water if the rice is looking dry, then cook for another min until the prawns are just pink and rice tender.

    1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.

  • tomato (passata or canned chopped tomatoes) passata or canned chopped tomatoes
