Serves:

Ingredients

1 rabbit, cut into serving pieces
2 cups of short-grain rice
4 cups of chicken stock
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp of smoked paprika
1 tsp of saffron threads
1 cup of frozen peas
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp of olive oil

Instructions

Season the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper. In a large paella pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit and cook for 5-7 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened. Add the smoked paprika and saffron and stir for 1 minute.
Add the rice and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is coated in the paprika mixture.
Pour in the chicken stock and stir well. Lower the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Add the rabbit pieces back into the pan along with the frozen peas and stir well. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the rabbit is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Serve with lemon wedges on top.
