Ingredients

  • 2 x 400 g Woolworths frozen seafood paella mix sachets, thawed
  • 1 x 410 g Woolworths Indian-style spiced tomatoes can
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • For the minty basmati:
  • 200 g basmati rice
  • 1½ cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2-3 carrots, peeled and grated
  • ½ t salt
  • 2 t fresh mint chopped, plus extra to garnish

Cooking Instructions

Ensure the seafood is thoroughly thawed, well-drained and at room temperature.

Blend the tomatoes, then bring to a simmer in a saucepan with the coconut milk. Add the seafood, then simmer gently for a few minutes until just cooked. Serve with the minty basmati, garnished with mint.

To make the minty basmati, place the rice, coconut milk, water, carrots and salt into a suitably sized saucepan. Bring to a bubble. Cover tightly and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and stir in the mint. Cover and allow to stand on the hob for 5 minutes. Garnish with mint.
