  • 1 onion , finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves , sliced
  • 250g paella rice
  • 850ml hot vegetable stock (we used Kallo very low salt stock)

  • juice ½ small lemon
  • small handful flat-leaf parsley , roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan and soften the onion for 6-7 mins. Add the pepper and garlic, cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the paella rice and cook for 1 min, stirring to coat.
  • Pour in the stock, add the saffron and bring to the boil. Cook, uncovered, at a gentle bubble, for 20 mins, stirring occasionally until the rice is tender.
