  This was very easy, quick and tasty. I added a chicken stock cube to the water but forgot to buy some chorizo so actually used salami, which was surprisingly good! Only had frozen cooked king prawns so added them a few seconds at the end just to warm through and they were lovely. Will use chorizo next time tho :-)

  After watching the final of Masterchef tonight, this recipe should make me feel at least half worthy tomorrow evening with friends.

  I made this dish in the oven, it was a very hot day and standing near a hob didn't appeal! I used brown rice, which made the cooking time much longer, it still tasted delicious! I used king prawns as that was all the fish monger had, didn't complain about that, I would make this again and again! Top marks! Very easy too!

  I used the oven version and it was lovely. I also only had cooked king prawns and added them at the end. We will be having this again as it is so simple, looks after itself and is delicious.

  I've tried this recipe a couple of times and it tasted great both times! The first time, I followed the recipe as it is, the second time, I made some alterations: I didn't have Chroizo so I added one chicken breast (cut into bite-size pieces). Added a pich of saffron and ground paprike to the water to give it that spanish touch. Added the prawn in Step. 1 with the chooped tomatoes and water (instead of Step. 2) to avoid the tender basmati rice from breaking.

  Thought this was a bit bland, I also used salami (maybe chorizo would have added more flavour) & added chicken stock but think it needed something more, perhaps I will stick to a paella style recipe next time.

  Very tasty, quick and easy, and low in fat - can't ask more for a mid week supper. The chorizo gave it a lovely flavour.

  I thought this was extremely tasteless and certainly wouldn't make it again. Something for me was missing.

  Living in Spain we regularly eat paella here in Andalucia. At our local it contains pork, saffron, fresh tomatoes, and instead of water chicken broth, I suppose a stock cube would be the next best thing. It's a good idea to cook it in the oven as we're having a heatwave over here!

  Almost forgot!! Most importantly it's made here with round rice, never long grain.

  I found this to be quite bland. Would definitely use veg or chicken stock next time.

  To make it even quicker I used uncle bens express basmati rice and tipped it in ready cooked. Also to make it child friendly for my 4 year old I replaced Chorizo with Mattesons Light Smoked Sausage and added frozen peas (according to my child all meals should contain peas or sweetcorn). I also used some peppadew from a jar in place of the red pepper to add a bit of bite. It became more Jambalaya than paella but was a success.

  This recipe didn't work at all for me. I went for the baking method and found the food incredibly salty and the onion underdone. It seems that all of the salt from the chorizo had permeated the entire dish and rendered the rest of the food completely unpalatable. Did no-one else have this problem? Also, the onion should have been sauteed before putting it in the oven as it came out half-cooked.

  This is a great recipe. I used chicken stock instead of water, added extra choritzo and avoided the prawns (they met a sicky end on the floor!). The kids and the adults loved it.

  Delicious - I added some green olives and used a mixture of white wine and stock instead of the water
