VEGAN PAELLA (GF) (VE,V)
Allergy Information: None.
(Serves 2)
This vegan paella is made with loads of different vegetables like mixed peppers, broccoli, garlic, onion, leek, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, peas and fresh thyme. All cooked with the unique Spanish smoked paprika “pimentón de La Vera” from -La Vera- Extremadura, plus premium Spanish saffron from -La Mancha- considered the best in the world, Spanish extra virgin Olive oil, and of course, rice from Valencia.
The perfect match for this vegan dish is to accompany it with Gazpacho Andaluz (Spanish cold vegetable soup) served very cold, perfect for hot summer days. This combo would be a perfect vegan menu that is very healthy and nutritious.
Paella is perhaps the best-known dish of Spanish origin in the world and gets its name from the large pan in which it is cooked.
Most people coming to Spain seem to think that paella is a heaping mix of seafood and meat, and while this version does exist, most paellas are regional — and they feature only a few key ingredients, as the rice itself is supposed to be the star of the show!
Rice sticking to the bottom of the pan is not something you want to avoid, since it helps foster one of the most succulent and seductive aspects of paella, we called socarrat (the toasted and caramelised bottom layer of rice).
