Paella

You'll need: 
100 gr squid
200 gr mussels
200 gr different fish
3 pieces raw chicken
5 slices chorizo sausage
1 ltr stock
100 ml white wine
pinch of saffron / turmeric
50 gr onion
1 garlic clove
50 gr diced red peppers
50 gr green pepper- diced
60 ml olive oil
200 gr short grain rice
thyme and bayleaf
150 gr tomatoes or tomato concasse
Garnish: lemon wedges and chopped parsley

Method: First pin bone the fish and cut in the even sizes. Then cut the squid rings, clean mussels and clean prawns.
Sweat the chopped onion, peppers and garlic. Seal off the chicken on a same pan and add with chorizo. Cook until chicken is cooked. About 10 minutes. Add the rice and stock ( mix stock + saffron/turmeric). Then add everything else, except the squid. When rice and fish is cooked, add the squid. Cook another 5 minutes.
When you add squid too early it will become rubbery. When paella is cooked add the tomatoes and garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
Enjoy :)
