  I added 2 cloves of garlic instead of 1 cause we LOVE garlic in our house. It was a huge success with the whole family, seconds were even requested!

  My boyfriend and I absolutely love this recipe! We've made it about 4 times now and it tastes great every time. The only things we've changed is, like the person above, we use 2 cloves of garlic and we also add approx an extra 100ml of stock. I think for anyone who loves Paella but without the seafood, this is ideal and so easy to make!

  Came across this page by mistake & thought it sounded delicious. I checked what I had at hand & had all but turmeric & chorizo so went to the local supermarket, got the chorizo but no turmeric anywhere in sight, so used the smoked paprika that I had in the cupboard & some chilli flakes - Oh, & used some cherry tomatoes. I made easily enough for 4+ but the lot got devoured my the good lady & I. We sat looking at each other thinking; There's just no way we could put this away in one session! Needless to say, every grain of delicious rice went down the hatch! PS, Neither of us had ever tasted Paella before! Stevie

  Very Tasty and loved by all the family, not a grain of rice left :) Only improvement for our taste would be to pop the Chorizo in slightly earlier before the liquid as we like the edges lightly crisped, but personal preference.

  My boyfriend and I both loved this recipe; we added a little paprika as well as the turmeric, that's just personal taste though. We will definitely be making this again!

  I'm new to this site but fancied cooking my boyfriend and I a fancy meal so I tried this. Went shopping and naturally thought I had some ingredients at home which I didn't... So I used vegetable buillion instead of chicken stock (and about 800ml rather than 1L) and when we had finished eating it, I realised that I had forgotton to put the chopped tomatoes in it in the first place. (Also used chorizo from a ring rather than the slices from a packet which was much better). Despite the disasters above (and not to shout about it) - but the paella turned out amazing. It was very juicy and meaty tasting (which i think the toms may have subdued had I added them). So I don't think I'm going to correct it if I do it again and would recommend anyone trying it this way :)

  Made this for my husband and I. The recipe even halved makes plenty, although we did polish it off. I added some smoked paprika and a couple of chilli flakes. Really delicious will definately do it again.

  Almost perfect for a non-seafood Paella. Just add some saffron to the stock and it becomes perfect!

  Oh I almost forgot. Use paella rice and a teaspoon of Spanish smoked paprika!
