1. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) water into a saucepan, add the saffron threads and a pinch of sea salt, and bring to a high heat.

3. When the water boils, add the rice, stir, cover the pan and lower to a low-medium heat.
4. Heat the olive oil (2 tbsp / 30 ml) in a large frying pan over medium heat.
5. After a couple of minutes, add the chopped vegetables and stir constantly. After 3 to 4 minutes, add the sweet smoked paprika (1 tsp / 2.50 g), hot smoked paprika (1/2 tsp / 1.25 g) and ground cumin (1/2 tsp / 1.50 g) and stir quickly.
6. Add the tomato sauce (15 oz / 425 g), drained butter beans, a pinch of sea salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir gently, then lower to a low-medium heat and simmer.
7. Simmer the rice for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed, then remove from the heat.
8. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve it on dishes, spoon the simmering beans beside it and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
