After half an hour, when all this is boiled, you can add the rice and a little Saffron. This is
a problem, because the Saffron is very expensive, but it gives the meal a delicious taste.
If you don t have saffron, you can use turmeric, a product that gives the paella an orange
tint.
If the paella is with made with chicken and rabbit, you need to cook the above ingredients
longer (around 50 minutes).
Now is the time to add the rice.
How much rice do we need?
This is a very important question because if there is too much water the rice becomes
mushy; however, if there is too little water the rice doesn t cook and it stays hard.
In Valencia there is a system to calculate it.
The water level must reach the two screws or rivets halfway up the side of the paella pan.
Place the rice in a straight line across the width of the paella, until the rice reaches the
water level.
Once this is done, spread the rice across the entire paella evenly to cook. Add the Saffron.
Slowly, all this will cook until no water is in the frying pan (paella). When the rice begins
to burn and stick to the pan, this is a sign that the paella is ready. If you like you can add,
some pieces of pepper.

I have tried this recipe and can vouch for the fact it is delicious !!(Leslie)
