Spanish Vegetarian Paella: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for Everyone

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Bomba rice (or any short-grain rice)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, quartered (canned or frozen)
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch saffron threads
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and add the saffron threads. Let it simmer on low heat.
  2. In a large paella pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  3. Stir in the diced red and yellow bell peppers, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the diced tomato and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it breaks down and creates a sauce.
  5. Add the Bomba rice to the pan, stirring well to coat it with the flavors.
  6. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything thoroughly.
  7. Carefully pour the saffron-infused vegetable broth over the rice mixture. Bring it to a gentle boil.
  8. Once boiling, add the green peas and artichoke hearts, stirring gently to distribute them.
  9. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the paella to simmer without stirring for about 20-25 minutes. The rice should absorb the liquid and become tender.
  10. After 20 minutes, check if the rice is cooked. If it’s still firm, add a bit more broth and continue cooking.
  11. Once the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, remove the pan from heat. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  12. Before serving, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
