A tasty Cheat’s Paella ready in just 10 minutes using a few cooking hacks! 

Cheat's Paella

We all have days when we get home and need to get something on the table to feed our family fast!

Days like this it can be tempting to reach for the takeaway menu or a ready-meal, but I’m going to show you how you can create something delicious and nutritious in just 10 minutes, starting with my Cheat’s Paella.

They key to my 10 minute meals is using frozen basics like onions and garlic. It saves you time peeling and chopping, simply add straight from the freezer to the pan.

In this recipe I’m also using frozen sliced peppers, another game-changer for me!
