Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy frying pan or paella pan over medium heat. Add the rabbit pieces and fry for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
-
Step 2.
Add the pre-cooked snails, chopped tomatoes, diced red pepper, crushed garlic, and paprika to the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until all the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated.
-
Step 3.
Add the Calasparra or Bomba rice, saffron, and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, without stirring, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
Step 4.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand for 2–3 minutes. Serve the dish directly from the pan, accompanied by aioli.
