Davide's Chicken & Chorizo Paella

Classic Spanish Rice Dish – With the Famous Crispy Socarrat

"It started with helping a Spanish friend open a paella business 10 years ago and I ended up falling in love with this dish!" – Davide

Paella is one of Spain’s most iconic dishes, and Davide’s version celebrates everything that makes it so special – colourful vegetables, tender chicken, smoky chorizo, and the socarrat: the golden, caramelised crust that forms on the bottom of the pan. This crispy layer is considered the crown jewel of paella, prized for its flavour and texture, and Davide has recreated it so you can enjoy an authentic paella experience at home.

Made with traditional Spanish cooking techniques and high-quality ingredients, this paella is both rich and satisfying. Simply reheat and finish in a pan following Davide’s easy instructions, and you’ll bring the taste of Valencia’s most famous dish to your own table – complete with that beautiful, authentic crispy rice base. Perfect for a quick gourmet dinner, or when you want to impress without the effort.

• "I am the quintessential Italian chef! Born and raised in Venice, Italy, I trained and worked in some of the worlds most delectable restaurants in the world. But all this “professional” knowledge pales in comparison to the lessons I learnt from my Mamma and Nonna!

  Food is life and everything revolves around food, however, cooking for others is my true passion. I enjoy making classic Italian dishes and am excited to experiment and revitalise traditional meals with new ingredients."
