Vegetable Paella Preparation

This is a vegetarian and light version of our beloved paella dish. You can add and substitute some of the veggies to taste or maybe for ones in-season in your town.


First we peel and cut all the vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a paella dish and sauté the peppers for a few minutes, add the rest of the vegetables and beans. Sauté and mix thoroughly and add the crushed tomatoes. Sauté for a few more minutes and add 1 liter of water (it could be substituted with vegetable stock), add the rice, paella seasoning and salt to taste. 


Let it simmer for 10 minutes in high heat and 10 more minutes in low heat. Let it sit a few minutes before serving it so it can absorb all the flavors. You can enjoy it with alioli sauce and a good Spanish wine.
