## Steps

1. Cut the rabbit and chicken breast into small pieces.
2. Place the paella pan over high heat, add olive oil and sear the meat over high heat, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate. (5 min)
3. Blend the red pepper, green pepper, onion and garlic. Put the vegetables in the paella pan, add olive oil and salt: cook, stirring occasionally. (15 min)
4. Add the tomato paste, stir and cook: the base is now ready. (10 min)
5. Rinse the prawns and cut the cuttlefish. Open the mussels by cooking them in a pan with water over high heat. Discard any mussels that do not open. (6 min)
6. Remove the mussels from their shells (keep 6 in their shells) and strain the cooking water through paper or muslin.
7. Place the paella pan over heat, add the peas and cuttlefish to the base, stir and cook. (5 min)
8. Add the meat, shelled mussels, mussel cooking water, meat stock and paella colouring: stir together.

10. When cooking is finished, arrange the reserved mussels in their shells between the prawns.
11. Cover the paella pan tightly with foil and let it rest. (10 min)
