Classic Valencian Paella.

Here is the classic recipe for Valencian paella, a traditional Spanish dish full of flavour and colour:

Ingredients:

  • 300 g bomba rice
  • 600 g chicken (thighs and breasts)
  • 300 g rabbit (optional)
  • 200 g green beans
  • 200 g of garrofón (large beans) or white beans
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • Saffron threads
  • 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1.5 l chicken or fish stock
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the ingredients:
    • Cut the chicken and rabbit into small pieces.
    • Clean and cut the green beans into pieces of about 3 cm.
    • Finely chop the onion, peppers and tomatoes. Finely chop the garlic.
  2. Browning the meat:
    • In a large paella pan or frying pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken and rabbit and brown well on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the sofrito:
    • In the same paella pan, add a little more oil if necessary.
    • Sauté the onion, peppers and chopped garlic until tender.
    • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick sauce.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients:
    • Add the browned chicken and rabbit back to the paella pan.
    • Stir in the green beans and the beans.
    • Add the rice and stir well so that it soaks up the flavours of the stir-fry.
  5. Cooking paella:
    • Pour the hot stock into the paella pan, enough to cover the rice and a little more.
    • Add the saffron threads and the sprig of rosemary.
    • Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  1. Leave to stand:
    • Remove the paella pan from the heat and leave the paella to rest for a few minutes.
  2. Serve:
    • Garnish the paella with a few slices of lemon (optional) and serve hot.

And that's it! Now you can enjoy this delicious paella made in the purest classic style.
