Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 50 mins
- Heat the oil in a large paella or frying pan. Fry the chicken and rabbit for about 5 minutes. Add the green beans, artichokes and tomato. Fry lightly for a few minutes. Add the paprika and let it fry for one minute on very low heat.
- Soak the saffron in a tbsp boiling water and add this water to the pan immediately. Add 800ml water, then add the garrafón or butter beans and season with salt. Increase the heat and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the snails (if using) and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the rice, let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, then taste the broth. Add the rosemary and let it cook in the paella for about 5 minutes before removing it. The paella is ready when the rice is tender and the water has evaporated but it's not completely dry (add more water if needed).
