    Made this last night. But i added 2 chicken stock cubes to the rice water, glad i did or i think it would have been completely tasteless. As it was it was enjoyable, my partner had 2 bowls full. think next time i may add a tin of tomatoes or add some smoked paprika for extra flavor too.

    This was very bland and was a big disappointment. The rice may have tasted better if some stock was added instead of water but def won't be making again as there are far nicer paella recipes available.

    Great mid week quick meal. Chicken stock and Paprika / Smoked Paprika helps set it off more. Lemon juice makes it taste great.

    I had a lot of odds and ends in the fridge that needed using up, so I added celery, red pepper, extra garlic and a cubed chicken breast. I forgot the turmeric and the peas. It seemed a bit dry so a tin of chopped tomatoes seemed like a good idea, but reaching into the cupboard I knocked a jar of Arrabbiata pasta sauce to the floor. The jar broke but I salvaged half the sauce and - waste not want not - added it to the pan. With this tomato-and-chilli sauce, and without the turmeric, it wasn't paella so I added Cajun seasoning and - hey presto - jambalaya! Absolutely delicious.

    Made this tonight ..... Used Marinara Mix instead of just prawns. I'm still on a high from all the compliments! Definitely one to try again.
