Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 cups Bomba rice
  • 500 grams Chicken thighs, chopped
  • 300 grams Pork ribs, small cut
  • 100 grams Spanish Chorizo, sliced
  • 250 grams Mixed wild mushrooms
  • 1 liter Chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon Saffron threads
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika (Pimentón)
  • 2 medium Grated tomatoes
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 100 grams Green beans
  • 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a paella pan and brown the chicken and pork ribs until golden on all sides.

  2. 2

    Add the chorizo and mushrooms, sautéing for 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic and grated tomatoes, cooking until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture darkens (the sofrito).

  4. 4

    Add the smoked paprika and the rice, stirring for 2 minutes to toast the grains and coat them in oil.

  5. 5

    Pour in the hot chicken broth infused with saffron and add the green beans; stir once to distribute ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Increase heat to high for the final 2 minutes to create the 'socarrat' (caramelized rice crust) at the bottom.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, cover with a clean cloth, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
