    1 Heat liquid stock and water in a large saucepan and keep at a simmer.

    2 Cook onion in oil in a large non-stick pan until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add chorizo and seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.

    3 Stir in rice. Add wine and stir. Add hot stock, 2 ladlefuls at a time, stirring until stock is absorbed. Repeat until almost all liquid is absorbed. Rice will be creamy and thick in texture.

    4 While rice is cooking, spray a frying pan with oil and cook chicken until lightly golden. Cut in small pieces.

    5 When all the liquid is almost completely absorbed in the rice, add chicken and prawns. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in parmesan. Season to taste.
