when it is hot add the chicken and rabbit frying them over a low heat
until gold brown. Add the beans, all of them, fry a little longer and add the tomato.
When the latter has been fried, add the sweet pepper and the water very fast (2.5 to 3 l).
saffron, coloring and a pinch of salt. After boiling for 15 minutes, the rice will be distributed evenly, place the
mussels and prawns evenly around the dish , then cook for about 8 minutes over fast heat and over a low
heat for the rest of the time

get right in theory. Practice will teach the correct measures for the rice to be just right.
There are a wide variety of recipes for Paella in Spain. In each case it is cooked with the ingredients available
at that time in the year. Many people like it with fish only or meet only. I find experimenting makes perfect
and you will end up with a paella that suits you.
