1. Method
2. Heat oil, garlic, chilli and turmeric in a large frying pan or paella pan and cook for 1 min.
Add rice and onions and cook for 2 mins, stirring, until the rice is well coated. Pour in two-thirds of the stock and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until most of the stock is absorbed.
Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetables and remaining stock. Cook for a further 5-10 mins until the rice still has a little bite to it and the vegetables are just tender.
Stir in the peeled prawns and cook for 3 mins or until cooked through. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Just before serving, stir through the herbs and lemon zest; garnish with prawns and squeeze over the lemon juice.
