Tradiational Valencian Paella

This recipe comes from the experts at Garcima, the manufacturer of our paella pans and sets. In this recipe they use the traditional Valencian white beans "Garrofón", although you could substitute them for cooked butter beans.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 400 gr. chiken
• 300 gr. rabbit meat
• 240 gr. green beans
• 160 gr. “garrofón” (Valencian white beans)
• 65 gr. well chopped tomato
• 100 ml. oil
• 800 ml. water
• 20 gr. salt
• 2 gr. paprika powder
• 1.5 gr. saffron
• 350 gr. Rice

Method

Cut the meat in pieces (egg-sized). Pour the oil and when it is very hot, add the meat. When it is fried golden, add tomato and stir everything until it is well fried.

Add  the paprika powder and immediately afterwards add the water, vegetables, saffron and salt. Let it boil for 20 min. (Medium flame)

Add the rice, distributing it very well all over in the “paellera”. Increase the heat for 10 min. and let it cook for a further 10 min.  on a low flame. The rice, will now have dried, but has to be left for several minutes before being served.
