    Instructions

    1

    Combine the chicken stock and saffron threads in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the pork sausages, 5 – 7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

    3

    Add the onion, garlic and red pepper, and fry, 5 minutes or until softened.

    4

    Add the long grain parboiled rice and stir, 1 minute. Add the Olive Brook Sauvignon Blanc Sur Lie and cook, 2 minutes. Add the whole peeled tomatoes, smoked paprika and saffron-infused chicken stock. Squash the tomatoes with a fork, breaking them up quite finely. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, 20 – 25 minutes or until the rice is just tender.

    5

    Return the sausages to the pan with the seafood mix, black mussels and baby peas. Stir to combine, and simmer for another 5 – 7 minutes or until the seafood is heated through. Serve the paella with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing.
