Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.
Method
- Boil a kettle of water.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide, lidded frying pan over a high heat.
- Add the onion, red pepper, green pepper, chorizo and garlic, and fry for 3 minutes.
- Tip in the rice and tinned tomatoes, then pour in 500ml of the boiled water.
- Cover the pan and cook over a high heat for 12 minutes.
- Lift the lid and stir the rice, which should be nearly cooked through.
- Add the prawns, with a little extra water if things look dry, and cook for a further minute until the prawns turn pink and the rice is tender.
