Vegan Paella Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tofu
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. Marinate with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 20 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large paella pan or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushroom scallops and asparagus. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the artichoke hearts and toy box tomatoes, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Tofu

Combine and Simmer
Add the sofrito to the vegetable mix and stir to combine. Then, add the paella rice, saffron threads, vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes without stirring.
