An exclusive recipe straight from local foodie heroes & TV's 'Hungry Sailors', Dick and James Strawbridge

  1. Add the onions, pepper and celery to a pan and cook until beginning to soften.
  2. Add the chicken, chorizo and all spices. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the chicken starts to brown and then stir the flour into the juices. Avoid burning the flour and quickly add the rice followed closely by all the stock, tomatoes and beer.
  3. Cook for 30 minutes at a low simmer and then stir in the squid, smoked mussels and coriander. Season with salt and serve immediately.
