Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large paella pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced red bell pepper, green beans, and diced tomato. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Artichokes and Spices

    Add the quartered artichoke hearts, saffron threads, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Rice and Broth

    Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well coated with the mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Paella

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
