Can't wait!! Xxx

So the paella....

50g of chorizo
150g of chicken
130g of arborio rice.... (this was how much I used last night but I usually do 150g)
2 tsp of oil
Tsp of paprika
Tsp of cayenne pepper
1 red onion
1 pint of chicken stock

Fry the onion, chicken and chorizo in the oil until the onion is soft. Add the risotto and dry fry for 30 secs. Add half the chicken stock. Simmer for 10mins. Add the paprika and cayenne. Add the rest of the stock and simmer down.

If the rice is still hard add more stock until cooked. Xx

Thank you. I can't wait to try it. Told my OH that we must cook it ASAP xxx

I loveeee chorizo, but it's quite fatty really, in 28g of chorizo there is 10g of fat :-O so 130 cals in that and 97 of those calories is fat eep

It's really really good though haha

It's sooo delicious! That's the usual recipe but the other night we had no chicken in so I used asda chicken skewers at 25 cals each and they are blinking lovely!

Last night we had a pre booked curry night for marie curie cancer. It was fabulous!! Such an amazing night for an excellent cause..... But I drank far too much wine! It was a deal with OH that if we went we were certainly getting back on the health kick. So here's to it....

Not sure whether I want to weigh in tomorrow or wait until next Saturday hmmmm xx

 

[Nikki<3]
