    Once the sofrito is ready, add the rice and stir for two minutes. Add the fish stock (using a ratio of 1 part rice to 3 parts stock). Add saffron and salt to taste. Mix well, and when it starts to boil, begin cooking: 7 minutes on high heat, 2 minutes on low heat, and 9 minutes in the oven.

  7. 7

    After the 2 minutes on low heat, transfer the pan to the oven for 9 minutes at maximum heat. If the rice is too firm for your taste when you take it out, cover it for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
