Method

1. Prepare about 250ml of vegetable stock using the stock cube.
2. Dice the chicken breast and the bell peppers into small pieces.
3. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and brown the chicken with the garlic for 5 minutes.
4. Add the peppers and frozen peas, cooking for another 3 minutes before stirring in the tomato passata.
5. Add the brown rice and toast it for a minute, then pour in the hot stock.
6. Simmer for 20-25 minutes (or as per rice instructions) without stirring too much.
7. Place the shrimp on top during the last 5 minutes of cooking until they turn pink.
8. Let the paella rest off the heat for 2 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Don't stir the rice too often to allow a slightly crispy crust to form at the bottom.
• If using white rice instead of brown, reduce the cooking time and the amount of stock slightly.
