Preparation steps

1.

Thaw peas. 

2.

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan, add rice and cook for 3 minutes until translucent. Add 800ml (approximately 3,5 cups) of vegetable stock. Crush saffron between  fingers, add to rice. Cover pan and cook rice for about 15 minutes or until it is almost done. Rinse and dry bell peppers. Halve peppers, remove seeds and ribs and cut into small cubes. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Rinse zucchini, cut off the ends and cut into small cubes. Rinse chicken, pat dry, cut into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper and curry powder.

3.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in an ovenproof large skillet (or paella pan). Cook chicken for about 2-3 minutes, remove. Saute onion and garlic in the same pan. Add half-cooked rice, zucchini, peppers, drained corn and peas. Add more broth if necessary. Place pan into preheated at 220°C (approximately 425°F) and cook for about 10 minutes. Add chicken pieces to the dish and cook for 5 more minutes. If rice appears to be too dry, add a little bit of vegetable stock.

4.

 Core whole tomatoes and blanch in boiling water. Once the skin starts peeling, lift tomatoes with the slotted spoon and rinse under cold water. Peel skin and cut tomatoes into wedges.

5.

Rinse, shake dry and chop parsley. Season rice and chicken with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice. Arrange chicken, rice and vegetables on plate and garnish with fresh parsley and tomatoes. Serve.
