Morning Paella with Chorizo and Eggs
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a paella pan or a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and chorizo. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice, salt, paprika, and saffron. Cook, stirring often, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the broth, beans, sofrito, olives, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, shaking the pan occasionally (do not stir) until the rice is nearly done but still slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves.

  3. 3

    Gently fold in the peas, taking care not to disturb the bottom of the skillet. Make 4 indentations in the rice. Crack one egg into each indentation. Simmer, covered, until the whites are set and the yolks have thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges (if using).

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
