Add the smoked paprika, thyme and paella rice, stir for 1 min, then splash in the sherry, if using. Once evaporated, stir in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock.

Season and cook, uncovered, for about 15 mins, stirring now and again until the rice is almost tender and still surrounded with some liquid.

Stir in the seafood mix and cover with a lid. Simmer for 5 mins, or until the seafood is cooked through and the rice is tender. Squeeze over the lemon juice, scatter over the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.

The combination of sweet, acidic tomatoes with salty, spicy chorizo and tangy sherry vinegar is a match made in heaven

Put the tomatoes in a bowl with the onion and thyme. Season, then drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Let the flavours mingle while you cook the chorizo.

A lovely paella that will make you dream of sunny Spain. Ready in 45 minutes, at around £2.50 a head, it won&#8217;t break the bank either.

Chicken and chorizo paella

cured chorizo, sliced

tbsp sweet smoked paprika

hot paprika

chicken breasts,

butter

red pepper, sliced

green beans, halved

cherry tomatoes, halved

parsley

Heat a large pan over a medium heat and dry-fry the chorizo, sliced, until it is golden and the oil is released. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the sweet smoked paprika and the hot paprika and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat a knob of butter in the pan and stir in the rice, then add 1 litre hot chicken stock, stir well and cook for 10 minutes.

Return the chorizo, chicken and onion to the pan with the red pepper, green beans, and tomatoes. Season and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the rice is tender.

Stir a handful finely chopped fresh flatleaf parsley into the paella and serve immediately.

This recipe is the perfect example of great fusion, says Matt.
