Preparation

Heat the paella pan outside over a medium heat or gas burner.

Fry the poultry well on both sides, after approx. 10 minutes add the vegetables and garlic and fry. Season with salt and pepper from the mills. After a further 15 minutes, add the mussels and prawns to the centre and sauté. After a further 5 minutes, add the rice and saffron threads. Mix it all together and leave to soften a little. After a further 5 minutes, deglaze with white wine and add approx. 1 litre of chicken stock. Reduce the heat considerably and leave to simmer. Add the rest of the stock at your own discretion, depending on the consistency. It is better to add more than too little.
The rice (arroz) needs about 15-20 minutes to swell.
