  8. Sprinkle with the paprika and then add the rice.
  9. Pour over the hot stock, add the saffron and rosemary.
  10. It is vital that you do not stir your paella, so just flatten out the rice and arrange everything in the pan so that it all has some space.
  11. Cook over a high heat for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 12-15 minutes.
  12. Test the rice it should be just cooked!
  13. Now cover with foil and allow to sit over a very low heat for a further 5 minutes.
  14. Serve sprinkled with snipped chives.
