Ingredients for 4 people

  • 200g Albufera rice

Preparation

In a casserole, lightly sauté the fennel chopped in brunoise with the oil without letting it brown. Add the rice and then the saffron water, and stir until the rice has taken on a yellow colour. Pour the boiling stock and the majada, add salt and stir.

When the rice comes to the boil, put in the oven and bake it for 17 minutes at 180°C. After that time has elapsed, take it out of the oven and add the lobster pincers cut in pieces. Serve and place the thinly sliced lobster tail on top of the rice.
