Samphire Paella

Add a drizzle of oil to a saucepan on medium heat. Fry the onion until soft, 5 mins. Add the pepper, season with salt and black pepper and turn up the heat slightly. Fry until slightly browned, 5 mins. Add the garlic, smoked paprika and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute more. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat in the spices and oil.

Add the water (amount specified in ingredient list) and the vegetable stock pot. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is 'al dente', 15-20 mins. TIP: 'Al dente' simply means the rice is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle. If all the liquid has been absorbed before the rice is cooked, just add another 50ml of water and keep cooking.

Meanwhile, cut the cherry tomatoes in half through the equator. Put them on a baking tray, drizzle on some olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Pop on the top shelf of your oven to cook for 10-15 mins. Once cooked, remove the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Five mins before the end of the paella's cooking time, rinse the samphire in a colander under running water. Put a frying pan on medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and the samphire (don't worry if it's still a bit wet, this will help it cook). Grind over some black pepper and cook the samphire for 3 mins, then remove from the heat. It should soften but retain some bite.
