Instructions

1. 1. Scrub the mussels thoroughly under running water. Remove the beard. Discard any mussels that are damaged or open. Peel the onion and garlic cloves. Cut the onion into eight wedges. Dice the garlic finely. Blanch the tomatoes by pouring boiling water over them. Peel off the skin. Cut the tomatoes into quarters. Remove the core.
2. 2. Wash the chicken thighs. Pat them dry. Rub them with salt and pepper. Heat four tablespoons of oil in a pan. Brown the chicken thighs on all sides for about ten minutes. Add the onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Simmer the mixture for about five minutes. Fold in the mussels and the thawed squid. Simmer everything for another five minutes.
3. 3. Heat the remaining oil in a large paella pan. Sauté the risotto rice until it looks translucent. Add broth and white wine. Stir in the safran evenly. Bring the rice to a boil. Add the chicken thighs, mussels, squid, tomato quarters, peas, and prawns.
4. 4. Place the paella in the preheated oven. Bake it at 180 degrees for about twenty minutes. Bake until the liquid is fully absorbed. Season the paella if necessary. Garnish with olives and lemon wedges. Serve the dish.
