1. Cook the rice and the quinoa in chicken broth (optional), can use water if you choose.
2. Chop up all the vegetables and leave to one side.
3. In a wok, heat the olive oil and then add the seafood mix. Turn the stove down and allow to cook for 10-minutes.
4. Drain any water from the seafood mix, then add the vegetables cooking for a further 5 minutes. Add a little more olive oil if needed.
5. Add the cooked rice and quinoa with the chorizo sausage and crab sticks.
6. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, chopped thyme, chilli flakes, garlic and finally the chicken broth.
7. Cover the rice and allow to simmer on low heat for 20-minutes. Stir the paella frequently to prevent from sticking to the pan.
