    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200ºC or set barbecue on a high heat with lid down. Line 4 shallow bowls with a double layer of tin foil (approximately 30cm x 40cm). In a large bowl, place all ingredients, except stock, lemon and parsley, and mix well.

    2 Divide mixture among the 4 bowls and pour ½ cup stock into each packet. Crimp foil to enclose contents and prevent steam escaping.

    3 Place into oven or barbecue and reduce heat to medium. Close barbecue lid (rotate packets once or twice if there are hot spots in your barbecue) and cook for 20-25 minutes.

    4 Carefully open a packet to check how cooked the paella is. If required, close and cook for a further 5-10 minutes until rice is tender.

    5 Serve garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check stock and paprika are gluten free.

    Make it vegan: Replace prawns with drained tinned cannellini beans and tarakihi with cubes of firm tofu. Replace chicken stock with Massell Chicken Stock.
