Method
1. Light a CobbleStone and allow to burn for 5 minutes. Top your COBB with the Frying dish, cover with the dome and preheat for 5 minutes.
2. Add oil to the dish and fry onion, red pepper and chorizo until soft and fragrant.
3. Add garlic and paprika and fry for another minute.
4. Add the rice and cook for a few minutes so that it absorbs all of the chorizo oil.
5. Tip in the diced tomato and wine and cook until the liquid has reduced.
6. Season well and pour in the fish stock. Cover with the dome and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is almost tender. (Don’t worry if it begins to catch – just make sure it doesn’t burn.)
7. Tuck in the prawns and mussels, cover with the dome and cook for another 5 minutes.
8. Squeeze the lemons over the paella, scatter with coriander and serve.
**Cooks Note: In Spain they use bomba rice for paella – arborio rice is the closest in texture, but you can use any long grain parboiled rice. Avoid basmati and jasmine rice, though, as it over-cooks too easily.
