Suitable from 12+ months and a family favourite
This one is for children over the age of 12 months as it is made with chorizo which contains salt. The good news is a little chorizo goes a long way so you don’t need much of it but it gives you the best flavour. You can substitute the cod with any fish that you fancy, prawns are also delicious in this dish.
Serves a family of 4
Cod and Chorizo Paella
Ingredients
2 cod fillets
200g diced chorizo
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
200g paella or risotto rice
1 medium sized onion diced

1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 bell pepper diced
50g frozen peas

Method
In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent
Add the rice and toast for a minute before adding the tinned tomatoes and the chicken stock
Bring the pan to a simmer and add the garlic, oregano and paprika
Meanwhile, line a baking tray with foil, grease it with a little oil and place the cod fillets on top then cook in the oven for 20 minutes
Once around half the liquid is absorbed, add the chorizo and chopped pepper to the pan
Once the stock is almost all absorbed add the peas and the sweetcorn and simmer for a further 5 minutes stirring regularly
Flake the cod fillets and stir into the paella, then squeeze in the juice of 1/2 a lemon just before serving
