Steps

60 min

1

Pour the olive oil into the paella pan (use the oil to make sure the pan is level). When the oil is hot, brown the chicken and rabbit pieces until golden, then season with salt.
2

Add the red bell pepper, cut into large pieces, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the tomato. Add more salt if needed.
3

Add the sweet paprika, then quickly pour in the water. Use a kitchen utensil, like a knife, to check the water level for reference. This is the level the water should be at when you add the rice.
4

Fill the paella pan with water up to the maximum level. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer. Add the food coloring and salt.
5

Keep an eye on the marked water level and taste the broth to check the salt.
6

Turn off the heat, let the paella rest for about 5 minutes, and it's ready to serve.
7

When the water reaches the marked level, make sure the salt is to your taste, then add the rice. Boil over high heat for the first 10 minutes, then lower the heat and cook for about 17 more minutes.
