- Remove bones from chicken and shells from shellfish.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan. Fry chicken and shellfish after patting them dry with a towel. When they are browned, add vegetables and rice; stir until rice is browned. Heat to boiling 5 cups of the liquid in which the fish, pork, and chicken cooked. Pour boiling liquid over rice.
