Poor Man'S Paella

1. 1

   First, char the bell pepper, corn, and tomatoes on an open flame. You can just put them directly on a gas element, or on the grill, until blackened and blistered.

2. 2

   When cool enough to handle, thinly slice the pepper, slice off the corn kernels, reserving any juices in the process, and dice the tomatoes. Reserve until needed.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large roasting pan. Sweat the onion and chorizo on medium heat until the onions are translucent and the chorizo is browned.

4. 4

   Add the garlic, paprika, turmeric, and fish sauce and fry until fragrant. Add the prepared vegetables and cook on high heat until the tomatoes lose their raw flavour, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in the soaked rice and water, then season well. Cover and bring to the boil.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, preheat the oven or grill to 450 degrees F, with the rack placed in the lower third of the oven.

7. 7

   Once boiling, remove it from the heat, stir well, and arrange the frozen seafood on top. Do not stir once you add the seafood!

8. 8

   Cover and bake in the preheated oven or grill for 1 hour, or until the liquid has been completely soaked up by the rice. Turn off the heat and leave the paella in the oven to rest for a further 10 minutes, undisturbed so the juices can get soaked up by the rice.

9. 9

   Serve with a bit of chopped parsley and squeeze of lemon.
