World’s Most Colorful Vegetarian Dish 😍 | Paella Recipe

Описание: 🥘 Vegetarian Paella

A vibrant Spanish rice dish packed with vegetables, saffron, and bold flavors — popular around the world as a satisfying vegetarian main course.

🍅 Ingredients (Serves 4)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut

1 cup artichoke hearts (fresh or jarred)

1½ cups paella rice (e.g., bomba or short-grain rice)

1 can (400 g) diced tomatoes

4–5 cups vegetable broth, hot

½ tsp saffron threads (soaked in 2 tbsp warm water)

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges and parsley, for garnish

🍽️ Instructions

Prep the saffron:
Soak saffron threads in a couple of tablespoons of warm water to release color and aroma.

Sauté vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a wide, flat pan (paella pan if you have one). Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add bell peppers and green beans; sauté for 5–6 minutes.

Toast the rice:
Add the rice to the pan and stir for 1–2 minutes, coating each grain in oil.

Add seasonings & liquids:
Stir in the diced tomatoes, soaked saffron (with its water), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Simmer:
Pour in the hot vegetable broth, spreading the ingredients evenly. Don’t stir from this point — let the rice absorb the liquid as it simmers. Cook over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, until the rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed. If needed, add a little extra broth.

Finish & rest:
Turn the heat off and let the paella rest for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges — squeeze lemon over the top before eating.

🍋 Serving Ideas

Serve with a crisp green salad or grilled veggies on the side for a complete meal.
