step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large paella pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo (100 g) and fry until beginning to turn crisp.
step 2
Add the onions (2), red peppers (2) and garlic (4 cloves) and cook until softened. Stir in the paprika (1 1/2 tsp), followed by the paella rice (1 box), saffron (1 tsp) and hot fish stock (1.5 L), reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
step 3
Scatter the monkfish (1 pack) and prawns (1 pack) over the top of the paella and push into the rice. Top with the mussels (1 box). Continue cooking for a further 5 minutes, or until all the prawns are cooked through and the mussels are open. Cover and leave to rest.
step 4
To make the aioli, mix the mayonnaise (4 tbsp) with the lemon zest and juice (1/2), paprika (1 tsp) and parsley (1 tbsp).
step 5
Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Drizzle ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil over each of the bread slices (4 slices), and add to the pan to toast. Remove from the pan and rub each slice with the garlic (1 clove), then season.
step 6
Heat a splash of olive oil in a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Add the padron peppers (260 g) and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning halfway, until blistered. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle generously with sea salt.
step 7
Divide the paella between serving dishes and serve with the padron peppers, toasts, aioli, parsley (1 tbsp) and lemon wedges (1).
