INGREDIENTS
The ingredients that we are going to use in this rice are the following: the ribs will be our main ingredient, pumpkin and purple onion, so that it provides a very good color to our rice. Natural tomato, sweet paprika and water, which will be used to cook the meat and form our broth, as well as extra virgin olive oil, saffron and salt.
STEP BY STEP
LET'S START COOKING
Add the extra virgin olive oil that will serve to level the paella. The oil must be centered, we will light the fire in the center to heat the oil.
We fry the ribs over low heat, they should be well golden without burning.
A LITTLE OF PUMPKIN
Once we have the ribs well browned, we move towards the ends of the paella and add the diced pumpkin, fry it for 5 minutes and remove it.
Add the purple onion, a little salt to release its juices and cook it over low heat for about 15 minutes.
LET'S ADD THE WATER
Add the grated natural tomato and sweet paprika and let the sauce cook over low heat until the liquid completely evaporates and a very dark color remains.
It is time to add the water we need to cook the rice. In our case we are going to put 3 parts of water for 1 part of rice. Add 1.2 liters of water and place the easy paella magnet at the water level.
LET IT BOIL
Now add another 1.5 liters of water to cook the meat and form the broth.
And we let it boil for about 40 minutes so that the ribs are very tender.
RICE AND EAT
A couple of minutes before adding the rice, add the reserved pumpkin, saffron and salt to taste.
After 40 minutes of cooking the meat and once the broth level reaches the mark we made with the paellafácil magnet, it is time to add the rice. Distribute the rice evenly and let the rice cook for 16 minutes. The first 5 minutes over high heat, the next 5 minutes over medium heat and the last ones over low heat.
