FOOD: Jambalaya Tonight!

Teresa often puts Rick Stein stuff on when we’re having Saturday breakfast in bed. Today this dish appeals enough to make me plan on cooking it for supper tonight.

Just added, raw prawns, turning pink.
In a happy place.
First glass of wine in aeons.

The next three pics show how the paella rice soaks up the chicken stock.

Is there even any rice in there?
Aha… thar’ she blows.
And lo’, the liquor is almost completely gorn!

And then, finally, to eat…

A wee bit o’ coriander.

Rick Stein described it, rather oddly I thought, as ‘the sort of thing you could cook in a bed-sit’! Well, whatever. It was absolutely delicious, tho’ I say so myself.

And how’s this for synchronicity? Rickolas is doing a Topping talk in Ely, in October. So I snapped us up two tickets and a copy of his new book.

Can’t wait!
