INSTRUCTIONS

Paella & Spearfishing Instructions:

Method:

• Sear a rabbit liver on high heat with salt and oil for 30 seconds per side. Remove from heat.

• Add rabbit livers, along with the following ingredients, into a blender: 4 cloves garlic, big pinch of saffron, ¼ cup chopped parsley, pinch of salt, ¼ cup seafood stock. Blend it all until smooth.

• Cut ½ pound of rabbit meat into thick slices, season with salt and fry in a large high-heat frying pan.

• Cut half of a cuttlefish into thick slices, and add to the same pan and fry both meats for a few minutes.

• Cut 300 grams octopus tentacles into ¼ inch thick slices, and add those to the pan.

• Add the blended saffron mixture, and cook with the proteins until fragrant and combined, about 30 seconds.
