Ingredients

  • 600 g Chicken thighs, boneless and cut into pieces
  • 150 g Chorizo, sliced
  • 1 Stück Onion, finely diced
  • 3 Stück Garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 Stück red bell pepper, diced
  • 200 g green beans, halved
  • 2 Stück Tomatoes, diced
  • 300 g Bomba rice
  • 1 TL Sweet smoked paprika
  • 0.5 Prise Saffron threads
  • 0.5 TL Chili flakes
  • 1 Stück Bay leaf
  • 800 ml Water
  • 2 EL Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 Stück Lemon, cut into wedges
  • 1 Bund Parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pan and brown the meat all over until golden. Remove from the pan.
  2. Fry the chorizo slices in the same pan briefly until crispy and they release their fat. Also remove from the pan.
  3. Sauté the onion, garlic and bell pepper in the remaining fat until glassy. Add the tomatoes and let them reduce for a few minutes.
  4. Stir in the paprika powder, chili flakes and saffron threads, then toast the rice briefly until the grains turn glassy.
  5. Deglaze with the water, add the bay leaf and return the meat and chorizo to the pan. Season everything with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the green beans over the rice. Simmer over medium heat without stirring for about 18 minutes, until the rice has absorbed the water.
  7. Take the pan off the heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
