    This is delicious. I've cooked it several times. Everytime I've made it, the rice has been slightly rubbery which is a shame, though this isn't a fault in the recipe, it's probably just me, for not cooking it long enough. Make sure the paella rice is perfect, and it will be delicious!

    This was lovely and so quick to make. I didn't have paella rice so used risotto rice but still tasted fabulous.

    Doubled the recipe for three people (two guys and a girl) and the whole lot was eaten - but these guys are not shy on the food front! Added a fresh red chili, some paprika, garlic and half a can of tomatoes. Delicious.

    Great way to have a super-fact paella. Substituted chicken for the prawns and still worked really well.

    My new favourite dish!! I've made this twice now, first time I added peas and chicken and 50g more rice as my son was eating it too, second time I added a glass of wine before the stock which really lifted it. Didn't have saffron so I skipped that, might try saffron sometime.

    I've made this one a few times and its became a firm favourite. I like to add a bit more chorizo than the recipe says, white wine and mussels near the end with the prawns. Its a lovely easy quick dish!

    I didn't put in any saffron (for I am a poor student) but it was still very yummy. The stock and chorizo make the taste.

    We love this dish. I add some spicy smoked paprika and use uncooked prawns (lay them on top for the last 5 mins of cooking time).

    Absolutely fantastic recipe. Have made this a couple times now and has been perfect every time! I find though that even once the water has evaporated, the rice is still hard. So I add another 400ml of hot chicken stock, and once that's evaporated everything is perfect :) Making it tonight, might try a a mixed seafood pack to add some more flavours in there.
