AUTHENTIC PAELLA VALENCIANA

Steps:

• Heat a paella pan over medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil. Add the chicken, rabbit and garlic; cook and stir until nicely browned. Move the browned meat to the sides of the pan, and add the tomato, butter beans, peas, and green beans. Season with paprika, and mix well.
• Fill the paella pan almost to the top with water, measuring the water as you put it in. This is to help you to determine how much rice to add, as paella pans come in different sizes. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 1 hour to make a nice broth.
• Season with a generous amount of salt, and just enough saffron to make a nice yellow color. Season with thyme and rosemary if desired. The goal is to make a rich tasting broth that will soak into the rice to make it delicious. Stir in half as much rice as the amount of water in the pan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

PAELLA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the onions and cubanelle and bell peppers to break them down. Pulse in the jalapeño and garlic, then add the cilantro and puree into a coarse mixture. Set the sofrito aside.
• In two 10-inch paella pans (you can also use a large paella pan, if you like), heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sear on both sides until three-quarters of the way cooked, 3 to 4 minutes total, then transfer to a plate. Add the sausage and cook, turning once, until the casings are crispy, then transfer to a plate. Add the reserved sofrito, the grated tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until any liquid has evaporated and the sofrito begins caramelize.
• Stir in the tomato paste, then add the rice and toast briefly. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Add the cumin, paprika and reserved sausage, then slowly add half of the stock and stir until the liquid comes to a simmer. Repeat with the remaining stock, then let the paella cook, undisturbed, until the rice is tender or until the liquid is almost gone, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove the shells from the shrimp, leaving the heads intact. When the rice is tender, scatter the shrimp over the top and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is crisp on the bottom, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle with olive oil, top with cilantro and serve.
