Vegan paella recipe (spanish rice with veggies) + video

June 5, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I found out the other day that I used to dislike paella as a kid. Not the version I’m presenting today but the most traditional seafood paella. It made me laugh cause even though now I no longer eat the traditional paella, it still is one of my favorite dishes and I love it. Today I’m making a vegan paella recipe and trust me, it is so good.

The recipe is available in video format (right below this paragraph) mais aussi en français tout en bas du post!

What is paella either way?

Paella is a traditional dish that originates from Valencia in Spain. It is highly popular and I’d say one of the most popular dishes in Spain. Traditionally it is made in a pan with two handles on the side and quite wide. The name paella comes from the actual pan used which is called paellera. Since paella is so popular in Spain there are infinite variations of the dishes but the most traditional one is the seafood paella.

Paella is something that needs to be done right and when it isn’t, most people are going to dislike it. Because no one likes poorly seasoned rice with bad quality seafood (and most tourist traps in Spain are like that). Which is why I always defend paella and insist on trying it at an actual, good quality restaurant or… alternatively, my dad’s paella.

Ingredients to make this vegan paella recipe

So, my vegan paella recipe clearly doesn’t contain any seafood, and it is made 100% from vegetables and rice. To make it, you will need :

  • Rice: It needs to be round, preferably of the bomba variety. Rice is very important in a paella, it can be a huge miss if the rice is not properly chosen nor cooked.
  • Vegetables: We are going for great flavor here so I’m using:
    • Red and yellow bell pepper
    • Tomatoes
    • Mushrooms
    • Artichoke hearts (artichokes are super expensive in France, so I bought canned artichokes)
    • Onion
    • Garlic
    • Asparagus
  • Spices: Listen up, this is the important part.
    • Saffron
    • Paprika
    • A tiny bit of rosemary
    • A tiny bit of curcuma to give that yellowish color
    • Salt
  • Other ingredients: Olive oil and vegetable broth.

How to prepare this vegan paella recipe

When making paella, patience is key. Most of the ingredients need to be cooked slowly and gently. Specially if we are making a vegan one. We will start by cooking the onion and garlic for some minutes, then we will add the peppers and tomatoes and we will let that simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Then, mushrooms. We cook the mix for 5 minutes and then we make a tiny space in the middle and we will add the artichokes. We continue to cook for 5 minutes. Then we can add the asparagus pieces. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Now we reached the rice part. We are going to add the rice and the spices. Mix a tiny bit but not too much. If you are using an actual paellera this is going to be easier for you because you will be able to put the rice in the pan without mixing it too much. Since I’m not cooking in one of those, I had to mix a bit more.

Our last steps will be to add the broth and cover with the asparagus. We will let it simmer till the rice has absorbed all the broth. If you see that it has absorbed all the broth and still needs a bit more cooking, add an extra splash of broth.

When the rice is ready, let it to rest for 10 minutes. Or chose to be impatient like me and start eating at the risk of burning your tongue.

The result should be a very infused flavored rice with some delicious vegetables. The asparagus on top add a great taste to the overall dish. Our paella was a bit crunchy at the bottom and that is such a great thing. I love it when that happens.

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
