Entrees

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large paella pan or wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the pan.

  5. 5

    Sauté the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  6. 6

    Add the chopped green beans and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Incorporate Rice and Broth

    Stir in the Bomba rice, ensuring it is well coated with the vegetable mixture.

  8. 8

    Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the paprika, saffron, salt, and black pepper.

  9. 9

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

  10. 10

    Cook the Paella

    Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, without stirring.

  11. 11

    Check the rice for doneness; it should be tender and absorb most of the liquid.

  12. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  13. 13

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
