Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 400 grams Bomba rice
  • 500 grams Chicken thighs, chopped
  • 400 grams Rabbit meat, chopped
  • 150 grams Garrofó (large white lima beans)
  • 200 grams Bajoqueta (flat green beans)
  • 2 medium Grated tomato
  • 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch Saffron threads
  • 1 teaspoon Sweet smoked paprika
  • 1.2 liters Water or chicken stock
  • 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
  • 1 to taste Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a wide paella pan and fry the chicken and rabbit until golden brown on all sides.

  2. 2

    Add the green beans and lima beans to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Clear a space in the center of the pan and add the grated tomato; cook until the liquid evaporates and it darkens.

  4. 4

    Stir in the paprika quickly to avoid burning, then immediately pour in the water or stock.

  5. 5

    Add the saffron and salt, then simmer for about 15-20 minutes to create a rich broth.

  6. 6

    Distribute the rice evenly across the pan in a cross shape, then stir once to submerge all grains.

  7. 7

    Cook on high heat for 8-10 minutes, then reduce to low heat for another 8-10 minutes without stirring.

  8. 8

    Turn up the heat for the last minute to create the 'socarrat' (caramelized crust), then rest for 5 minutes before serving.
