10 servings
  1. 3/4 cupolive oil (200 ml)
  2. Salt
  3. 2 1/4 lbsrice (about 1 kg)
  4. 1/2rabbit
  5. 1chicken, cut into pieces
  6. Sweet paprika
  7. 5grated tomatoes or 5 tablespoons of tomato sauce

  10. 1.1 lbsgreen beans (about 1/2 kg)
  11. Tap water

Cooking Instructions

1h 45 minutes
  1. 1

    Level the paella pan. This is very important to ensure even cooking throughout the paella and to achieve a thin layer.

    Important, don't be misled by paella pan sizes...for 10 people, the pan should be at least 28 inches in diameter.

    With these 2 premises, success is guaranteed.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken and rabbit with salt and fry slowly. Don't worry about the time, it takes about 30 minutes to fry it well. Frying it this way will make it very juicy, golden, and the meat will release all its juices.

    As a tip, if you use a 3-burner ring, the 2 center ones are enough. If it has 2 rings, the first ring is sufficient.

  3. 3

    Move the sautéed ingredients to the edge of the pan. Add all the well-washed vegetables, and the well-peeled artichokes. Sauté everything very well, slowly, for about 10 minutes. Once well sautéed, move to the edge of the pan.

  4. 4

    Important Step!! In the center of the pan, over low heat, add 2 tablespoons of sweet paprika and quickly the crushed tomato. Stir for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Mix everything! The meat, the vegetables with our tomato sauté. Stir for 2 minutes and increase the heat.

  6. 6

    Add 3 cups of water to the sauté, which will be simmering and smelling great!! Let it reduce for 4 minutes.

  7. 7

    After those 4 minutes, add water until it covers the entire chicken thigh. It will take about 15 minutes to start boiling...check the salt, add a little saffron for color. And here's a tip!!!, when the water is halfway up the chicken thigh, add our kilo of rice.

  8. 8

    Keep in mind, cooking time is 17 minutes. When you add the rice, it should be slightly visible on the surface. You need to keep track of the time. When you reach minute 8, you should start seeing bubbling and a bit of the rice...Success guaranteed.

  9. 9

    After those 17 minutes, turn off the heat or let it rest!!! Important!!! I let it rest for up to 10 minutes.

  10. 10

    Step 10!!! Eat after the wait. You can see more videos on my Instagram serchiete8121
