Heat 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over low heat.

Add approximately 800 grams of chopped onion and cook for 25-30 minutes until caramelized, adding boiling water as needed to prevent burning.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of oregano, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste.

After 30 minutes, the onion should be golden and caramelized; set aside.

Prepare the seafood mix, which can include mussels, shrimp, octopus, and cuttlefish; ensure it is thawed if previously frozen.

Add the seafood to the skillet with the onion and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring gently.

To thicken the mixture, add 1 tablespoon of flour diluted in half a cup of water and stir until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Boil water in a separate pot and cook the chicken breast with bay leaves, salt, and a sprig of celery for 8 minutes; then remove and shred the chicken.

Remove the kernels from the corn and blend them with water and fresh basil until smooth, cooking the mixture over medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring continuously.

Once the corn mixture is thickened, assemble the dish by layering the seafood mixture, shredded chicken, hard-boiled eggs, black olives, and optionally raisins in a baking dish.

Top with the corn mixture and sprinkle sugar on top for caramelization.

Bake in a preheated oven at maximum temperature until golden brown.
