Delicious Vegetable Paella Recipe
Tagged in Vegetarian
Directions
Fry the onion and garlic in a big, deep skillet
with the olive oil. When it starts to wilt and
turn yellow, add the cut vegetables and cook for
about 10 minutes on medium heat. Add the rice,
salt to taste (remember stock or broth has salt!)
and a bit of saffron. Mix well and add the
broth. Cook on low to medium heat stirring
occasionally for about 20 minutes or until rice
is cooked according to preferred consistency. Do
not overcook or it turns mushy and lumpy. Add a
bit of water if it gets too dry. Remove from
fire and before serving add some fresh, chopped
parsley and a dash of lemon juice (about a
tablespoon).
Serve with a big bowl of salad with Italian
dressing.
