Epitomising summer feasting, paella is a celebratory combination of strong Spanish flavour and is one of the most popular “surf & turf” dishes. Featuring smoky chorizo, crispy pork belly and juicy prawns this richly flavoured recipe holds up to being paired with a robust red wine like Alto Cabernet Sauvignon.
Heat a glug of olive oil in a large shallow pan over medium heat. Fry the chorizo and smoked pork belly for 8-10 minutes or until crispy. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Add the cherry tomatoes and fry until gently blackened. Remove the tomatoes from the pan and set aside. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the rendered chorizo fat and sauté until soft. Add the risotto rice into the pan, sprinkle over the smoked paprika and stir for a minute. Pour in the red wine and reduce for 5 minutes before adding the stock. Season the pan with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Return the crispy chorizo and pork belly to the pan and cook for 40 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is cooked.
Meanwhile, arrange the prawns in an ovenproof dish and preheat the grill. Combine a glug of olive oil with the smoked paprika, melted butter, garlic, chillies and lemon juice and zest and pour over the prawns. Cook the prawns directly beneath the grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, the prawns can be cooked over medium coals for a smokier finish.
To serve, plate the paella and top with the fried cherry tomatoes, the prawns and a sprinkling of chopped flatleaf parsley.
