Paella Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Chop the onion, slice the bell pepper, mince the garlic, and slice the plantain.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large paella pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

3. 3

   Add Rice and Seasonings

   Stir in the basmati rice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine, stirring well to deglaze the pan. Allow the wine to reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Seafood

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the seafood mix and gently stir to distribute evenly.

6. 6

   Cook the Paella

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the seafood is cooked through.

7. 7

   Prepare Plantains

   While the paella is cooking, heat a separate pan with a little olive oil and fry the sliced plantains until golden brown on both sides.

8. 8

   Serve

   Once the paella is cooked, remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Serve hot with the fried plantains on the side.
