Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups stock or water
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into thick wedges
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Large pinch saffron threads, optional
2 teaspoons Spanish pimenton (smoked paprika), or other paprika
2 cups Spanish or other short-grain rice

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Warm stock or water in a saucepan. Put the tomatoes in a medium bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch or 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your paella a colorful and flavorful appearance. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables, they will not cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the vegetables well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cumin, to taste.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will help to give your paella a rich flavor.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a little bite to it. You don't want the rice to be mushy.
  • Stir in the vegetables and herbs at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the paella immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetarian paella is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can create a paella that is both beautiful and delicious.
