    FAQS

    What to eat with a paella?

    This Vegetarian Paella is a complete dish by itself, but if you want you can serve it with light side dishes.  Like a salad, roasted vegetables, or bread.

    What can I substitute for a paella pan?

    Paella experts like the thin carbon steel pan that heat fast and don't retain too much heat. You can substitute stainless steel, an aluminum skillet, or even a wok.

    Main Ingredients

    Arborio Rice: Arborio is traditional Italian rice used most often in dishes where a creamy texture is desired.

    Sweet Paprika: Paprika, also known as sweet pepper, it's obtained from the ripe, dried, and ground fruit of the sweet pepper.

    Saffron: Saffron comes from a variety of crocus; it is in fact the stigmas of the flower which are harvested by hand and then dried. Each flower contains only three stigmas that lose up to 80% of their weight upon drying. It is therefore not surprising that saffron is the most expensive spice, and also the most trafficked!

    Artichoke hearts: For this recipe, I used canned artichoke hearts, but you can also use marinated artichoke hearts.

    Tips

    • If your rice is not completely cook, you can add a little bit of water or broth. The important thing is that the liquid is completely absorbed at the end of cooking.
    • Always allow your paella to rest for 5 minutes before serving: This will allow for the aromas to develop.
