Method: How to make Jambalaya
Make a vegetable stock by dissolving the bouillon powder in just-boiled water. Transfer to a saucepan and return to the boil again.
Shell and clean the prawns, discarding the black thread, but keeping the shells.
Add the shells to the stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
As your fish stock simmers, chop all your vegetables. Prepare the chorizo by skinning it and chopping it into bite-sized chunks.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole dish with a lid. Add the crushed chillies and garlic to flavour the oil. After about 30 seconds, add the chopped onion, celery, red pepper and chorizo. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Strain your fish stock to remove the shells.
Next add the rice to the vegetable mixture and stir to coat. Once coated, add the stock, chopped tomatoes and bay leaf.
Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
When the rice is cooked, stir in the prawns and simmer for a further 4 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through.
Serve with a lemon chunk and a little chopped flat leaf parsley to garnish.
