crab meat

🥗Healthier: shredded chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

fish stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth offers a lighter option without sacrificing flavor.

1

Heat a generous amount of Spanish olive oil in a wide pan.

2

Chop 1 onion, 1 leek, and 1 carrot very small to make the sofrito.

3

Cook the sofrito slowly over medium-low heat until soft and sweet, about 10 minutes.

4

Add a splash of Spanish brandy and carefully flambe it, or let it bubble until the smell fades.

5

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato puree and cook for a minute to deepen the color.

6

Add the crab meat and gently fold it into the mixture.

7

Add bomba or kalaspara rice and stir for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the grains.

8

Pour in hot fish or seafood stock all at once and gently spread the rice.

9

Cook for about 15 to 18 minutes until it is a little soupy, miloso.

10

Finish with parsley and a knob of butter for silkiness.
