hot pan with salt, pepper and oil.

● Corn on the cob: Steam and shell.
● Assorted mushrooms: Clean and cut according to the mushroom and
sear in a very hot frying pan.

remove the hairs inside as well as the bitter, outer skin of the stem.
Cut into clean quarters. Prepare a bath with lemon water and
parsley leaves to keep the clean artichokes in and prevent oxidation.
Fry them at 170°C (338F) for 2 minutes.

● Heat the paella pan used to sear the vegetables previously. Add a
good glug of 0.4% olive oil, add the rice and reduced tomatoes.
Saute well, stirring with the spatula over medium heat until the rice
is transparent and pearly.
● Stir for 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that the grains of rice are well
pearled and soaked with tomato. If before this time has elapsed you
notice that the rice is beginning to stick, add a little more olive oil
and continue stirring.
● When the rice is at the right point, if using wine, deglaze with white
wine and continue stirring until the alcohol evaporates. Once the
wine has evaporated, add the boiling vegetable stock
● Stir with a spatula or slotted spoon to distribute the rice evenly over
the entire surface of the paella pan.
● Cook over medium/low heat without stirring so as not to release the
starch from the rice. Just shake the paella pan by the handle to
prevent the rice from sticking. The stock should boil, but not too
much otherwise it will reduce too much before the rice is cooked.
● Cook for 10 minutes, once this time has elapsed see if it is necessary
to add more stock and cook for 2 more minutes. If the rice is still a
bit hard, you should add a little more stock, if required, and cook for 1
more minute or how ever much longer it needs.
● In the last 2 minutes, add the sautéed vegetables.
● Let stand for 2 minutes off the heat before portioning.
● Pipe dots of the romesco sauce on top with the help of a pastry bag.
Finish with finely diced chives.
