Ingredients

• 200g seasoned beef, lamb, or pork (your choice)
• 1 cup high-quality rice (Bomba or Arborio for authenticity)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (preferably extra virgin)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (pimentón)
• 2 cups chicken or beef stock
• A pinch of saffron (optional, for added richness)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Preparation

1. Prepare the Ingredients
   Begin by seasoning your meat with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, adding the meat pieces to brown them on all sides.

2. Cook the Base
   Sauté the onions, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened and aromatic. Stir in the rice, allowing it to toast lightly for a nutty flavor.

3. Simmer to Perfection
   Pour in the stock and add a pinch of saffron, if desired. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let the rice absorb the liquid and flavors, stirring occasionally.

4. Combine and Finish
   Return the meat to the pan once the rice is nearly cooked. Allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes, ensuring the meat remains tender and juicy.

5. Garnish and Serve
   Plate the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, serving it hot alongside a glass of local Spanish wine.
