Method
Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan or paella pan and fry the onions with a pinch of salt until they are soft. Add the garlic and pimenton, cook for a minute, then add the tomatoes, peppers, chicken, squid, white wine and rice. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the saffron and stock. Season, bring to the boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, without stirring.
Add the chorizo and peas, then cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Add the prawns towards the end of cooking.
Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
