When they begin to brown, add the peppercorns, the salt, the Constanza garlic paste, the parsley and the saffron threads. Mix and when cooked add the grated tomatoes. Cook for a couple of minutes and add the squid and clams. Let everything cook until the clams open.

At this time add the rice. Add the mussels without the shell and the peeled prawns. Pour in the hot water or broth, a little food coloring and mix.

When this time has passed, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 4 or 5 minutes.
