  2. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and fry the pieces of meat, shrimp and cuttlefish for 2 minutes on each side and put on a plate.
  3. For sofrito: in the juices left over from meat and fish, put out strips of green and red pepper.
  4. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds, cut them into cubes and add to the pepper, salt and pepper with ground black pepper. Simmer over low heat, stirring, until soft, 10 minutes. Towards the end of cooking, add a pinch of saffron and half a spoonful of paprika.
  5. Pour the rice into the pan.
  6. Return the meat to the pan, add the peas, beans, a little salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Pour in the broth and cook for 10 minutes over a fairly high heat.
  7. For the picada: in a mortar or blender, chop the parsley with garlic.
  8. Sprinkle the paella with a mixture of parsley and garlic. After 10 minutes, reduce the heat and put the mussels and clams on the paella, slightly drowning them in rice. After 4 minutes, put the finished shrimp and cuttlefish on the paella. Cook for another 4 minutes. In total, after adding rice, the paella is cooked for 18 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and let the paella brew for two minutes.
