Vegetarian Paella Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Base

In a large paella pan or wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Add Vegetables

Stir in the bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

3

Incorporate Tomatoes

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

4

Add Rice and Broth

Stir in the rice, saffron, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

5

Cook the Paella

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

6

Add Peas

Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

7

Serve

Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
