Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. 

Zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount). Halve the ciabatta.

Pop the Tenderstem® broccoli onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, then set aside.

Start the Paella
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Once hot, add the bell pepper and chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 4-5 mins. 

Stir in the Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Cook for 1 min more.

Time to Bake
3

Add the risotto rice and the juice of half the lemon to the pan. Stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent and the lemon juice has evaporated, 1-2 mins. 

Stir in the boiled water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste. Bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil).

Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 25-30 mins.

Meanwhile, lay the garlic bread onto a baking tray, cut-side up. Spread over half the garlic and drizzle with the olive oil for the garlic bread (see pantry for amount). Set aside for later.

Fish to Fry
4

When the rice has 10-12 mins left, roast the broccoli on the middle shelf until tender and crispy.

When the rice has 5-10 mins of cooking time left, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Pat the monkfish pieces dry with kitchen paper.

Once hot, add the monkfish, butter and remaining garlic to the pan. Cook the monkfish for 3-4 mins on each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.

Meanwhile, drain the prawns.

After the monkfish has cooked for a few mins, add the prawns to the pan for the final 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw seafood.

Zest It Up
5

Meanwhile pop the garlic bread on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 4-5 mins.

Once the prawns and monkfish are cooked, remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: The monkfish is cooked when opaque in the middle. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Stir in half the lemon zest. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

When the rice is cooked, stir in the peas and cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, adding a splash of water if it's a little dry.

Share the rice between your bowls, then top with the prawns and monkfish. Spoon over any buttery juices from the pan.

Serve the Tenderstem® broccoli and garlic ciabatta on the side. 

Finish with a sprinkle of the lemon zest.

Enjoy!
