Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and gently cook for about 2 minutes, until softened but not coloured.
-
Step 2.
Stir through the crushed garlic, chopped tomatoes, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, and saffron. Cook for a further 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 3.
Add the mixed wild mushrooms, rabbit pieces, quail halves, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. During this time, skim off any fat or impurities that rise to the surface with a ladle.
-
Step 4.
Add the sliced butifarrón (black pudding), Bomba or short grain rice, and fresh peas. Continue to simmer for a further 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue skimming any impurities as needed.

Step 5.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped flat-leaf parsley. Pour the rice into a soup tureen and serve at the table.
