? Get a big pan with high sides and fry the Pepperoni in olive oil for a few minutes so it starts to brown. Once browned, take the pieces out and set them to drain on some kitchen towel.
? Add a couple of tablespoons or so to the rest of your olive oil in the pan (as it will need to coat the rice) and heat.
? When hot enough for frying, add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic, chillies (or chilli powder) and Thyme. Fry a little until the onions go clearish.
? Add the rice and stir so that it is coated in the olive oil, add the teaspoon of paprika
? Add a 1/3 of the bottle of white wine and a pinch of saffron. Put the rest of the wine to one side for drinking during the cooking process.
? Heat until the wine starts to bubble, then add about a pint of the chicken stock keeping back the rest for later
? Simmer gently for about 10 minutes
? Now add the chicken and pepperoni and simmer for another 10 minutes
? Add the peas and tomatoes and simmer for another 10 minutes or so. If it starts to stick or boil dry add some more stock, it should soak all the liquid up gradually leaving some thick moisture on the rice
? Check that the chicken is cooked and the liquid is pretty much gone, add some mixed tuscan herbs (they come in a four dish herb pack at Morrison?s along with Paprika, Saffron and Oregano but I think are mainly Oregano)
? Serve with the option of Tabasco sauce
