How to cook the original spanish Paella from Valencia?

Sometimes when you ask for Paella in a restaurant with no idea about Paella, we are surprised about a lot of ingredients we don´t need at all. The original Paella recipe is so simple. You don´t need more than 1 hour to have a great plate prepared for 6-8 people.

INGREDIENTS PAELLA:

• 3 cups bomba or calasparra rice (arborio risotto works as a substitute)
• 8 cups chicken stock
• OPTIONAL 1 large onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1large bell pepper, diced
• 10 -15flat green beans
• 4 plum tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 (4 ounce) can tomato paste
• OPTIONAL cause the original recipe don´t have them:15 large shrimp (feel free to add clams, calamari, prawns or mussels)
• 2 -3lbs rabbit
• OPTIONAL 4 links chorizo sausages, frito sliced into 1 inch pieces
• 1⁄2cup fresh parsley OPTIONAL
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 1⁄2 tablespoon paprika
• 1 pinch saffron
• 3 lemons, quartered
• A bit of rosemary

1. Prepare the rabbit by separating the legs, cutting remaining meat into small slices and lightly salting. (In my area rabbit is seasonal. During the summer and fall I substitute with chicken legs).
2. I peel my shrimp, leaving only the tail and then salt them. In Spain they tend to leave the shrimp unshelled.
