Description

A colorful and flavorful Spanish rice dish made with a variety of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices, perfect for a hearty vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio or Bomba rice
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp saffron threads
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and green beans; cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  4. Stir in the rice, smoked paprika, and saffron threads; cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice slightly.
  5. Add the drained tomatoes and stir to combine.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered without stirring for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  8. Scatter peas over the top during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  9. Remove from heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Do not stir the rice while it cooks to allow a crust (socarrat) to form on the bottom.
  • Use seasonal vegetables for variation.
  • Saffron can be substituted with turmeric for color if unavailable.
