Before cooking the octopus is recommended to have been frozen at least 12 hours in order to soften its fibers.

FRYING RICE!!!
When the artichokes are browned add grated or crushed tomato, fry for two or three minutes along with the artichokes.
On this point, add rice, stir and add paprika. Fry rice and paprika along with vegetables.
ADD BROTH, SEASON AND COOK
Add the broth, we add twice broth than rice. Season with salt, the amount will go to taste, you should keep taste during the process. Add saffron too. Stir to blend.
On this point we also add the cooked octopus, the red mullets, the prawns and the mussels that will be placed decorating the paella No stir again not to break the rice grain.
