Chicken and Chorizo Pressure Cooker Paella

This delicious chicken and chorizo pressure cooker paella is cooked in 15 minutes! Cooked in the Tefal Cook4Me, Instant Pot friendly and low syn on a Slimming World diet.

*PR Sample - I have not been paid for this post and all opinions are honest and my own.

As I mentioned in my Tefal Cook4Me Connect review video last week, I could not wait to test it out but had to tile and do many errands, two weeks leading up to our holiday.

So on my return, I excitingly stocked up the fridge to put my new gadget through a few tests over a week to suss it out.

But while I'm here, I would like to clear up any confusion and let you know that this wasn't a sponsored video.

I am always truly thankful of anything gifted that genuinely helps us save time and money, as some of you know from my The Carpenter's Daughter DIY blog.

We're constantly budgeting for a wedding, renovations and the times we need to get professionals in.  But I always have full editorial control over my reviews and the interactive Tefal Cook4me Connect* really blew my socks off.

Already, it's given me more time to do other things; I've not had to worry too much about planning meals because it's ridiculously quick at cooking things.  (This 10 minute multi cooker Paella should take 1 hour!)

If you don't have one, then just try this recipe the traditional way in a large pan or standard pressure cooker.

1. Set the Tefal Cook4Me to cook Bacon & Leek Risotto for 4 people (we're just telling it a porky pie).
2. Add your oil to the Tefal non-stick pot inside (or a non stick deep saucepan if not using) and saute the onion, garlic and meats.
3. Then transfer the rest of the ingredients to the Tefal Cook4Me, give it a good stir and set to cook (this should automatically cook for 10 minutes.  *If using a saucepan, add everything in but use 1.2 litres of water instead with 3 cubes and simmer 1 hour, stirring here and there.
