Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Base
In a large paella pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and rabbit pieces, browning them on all sides.
Add Vegetables
Once browned, add the green beans and sauté for a few minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated tomato, cooking until the tomato has reduced.
Incorporate Rice and Spices
Add the Bomba rice to the pan, stirring it into the mixture. Sprinkle in the saffron, paprika, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add Liquid
Pour in the water or chicken broth, ensuring the rice is evenly spread across the pan. Bring to a boil.
Simmer the Paella
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer without stirring for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid.
