How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the oil in a paella pan over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken and rabbit until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the green beans and garrofon, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Add the grated tomato and cook until the juices evaporate, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic, sweet paprika, and saffron threads, stirring quickly to prevent the paprika from burning.
5. Pour in the rice and distribute it evenly throughout the paella pan.
6. Add the hot chicken broth, adjust the salt to taste, and place the rosemary sprig on top.
7. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until the rice begins to absorb the broth, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
8. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the rice is tender and the broth is fully absorbed.
9. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
