I've never tried to make paella before. In my mind, it was one of those complicated dishes that involve an armful of ingredients and an awful lot of concentration. But then J whipped up this beautiful little number for us one evening, and it got me to thinking that maybe I could tackle this paella business after all.
It probably would have helped, however, if I'd looked up the necessary ingredients first. I picked up some prawns from the shop on the way home, but it turns out that you need more than prawns to make a paella.
Hence why my attempt looked like this:
Ahem. I had to use risotto rice, and red wine instead of white. Also, spinach instead of peas. And I only had a thimbleful of chorizo, In all honesty, it can't be called a paella at all. It was a big dish of rice with some prawns. But my husband ate it just the same. He's nice that way.
