Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Valencian Paella Authentic Dish.
Step 1
Start by heating a paella pan over medium-high heat and drizzling in some olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, add in your chicken and rabbit pieces along with a few cloves of garlic.
Step 3
Sauté the meat, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned on all sides, creating a lovely foundation of flavor.
Step 4
Once the meat is golden, gently push it to the edges of the pan to make room for the next delicious ingredients.
Step 5
In the center, toss in chopped tomatoes, butter beans, green peas, and vibrant green beans.
Step 6
Sprinkle in some paprika for that signature Spanish flair and mix everything together, allowing the flavors to mingle.
Step 7
Next, pour in enough water to nearly fill the pan, keeping an eye on the amount so you can gauge how much rice you’ll need later.
Step 8
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about an hour, allowing a rich and aromatic broth to develop.
Step 9
After the simmering time, season your broth generously with salt, then add just a pinch of saffron to give it a beautiful golden hue.
Step 10
Don’t forget to sprinkle in some thyme and rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 11
Now, stir in half the amount of rice compared to the water you added earlier, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Step 12
Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 13
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re on your way to a delicious paella that’s sure to impress!.
