Paella

What is it?

Saffron rice forms the base, with chicken, chorizo, king prawns and mussels folded through in this frozen meal. It's a Spanish-style dish built around separate grains rather than a creamy sauce, so the rice stays distinct while soaking up the stock and spices. Usually baked in its tray from frozen, it sits in the brand's more dinner-plate style range rather than the smaller single-portion dishes. Compared with other meals in the line, this one leans into a mixed seafood and meat combination, with the chorizo bringing a smoky note and the prawns and mussels adding shellfish. The saffron colours the rice a warm yellow and adds a floral, slightly earthy flavour that ties the different proteins together.
