Paella with Tomatoes and Eggs image

Check out this recipe for a hearty paella-there's no meat required. Instead, eggs make this decadent and filling.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Dinner     Rice     Vegetarian     Winter

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water, plus more if needed
Large pinch saffron threads (optional)
1 pound fresh tomatoes, cored, cut into thick wedges, and seeded
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons smoked or other paprika
2 cups Spanish or other short-grain white rice or parcooked short-grain brown rice
4-6 eggs
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450°F. Warm the stock in a medium saucepan with the saffron if you're using it. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss gently to coat.
  • Put the remaining oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and paprika and cook for a minute more. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's shiny, another minute or 2. Carefully add the stock and stir until just combined.
  • Put the tomato wedges on top of the rice and drizzle with the juices that accumulated in the bottom of the bowl. Use a large spoon to make 4 to 6 indentations in the rice and carefully crack an egg into each. Put the pan in the oven and roast, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Check to see if the rice is dry and just tender. If not, return the pan to the oven for another 5 minutes. If the rice looks too dry at this point and still isn't quite done, add a small amount of stock, wine, or water. When the rice is ready, turn off the oven and let it sit for at least 5 and up to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. If you like, put the pan over high heat for a few minutes to develop a bit of a bottom crust before serving.
  • PAELLA WITH EGGPLANT
  • Instead of tomatoes and eggs, use 1 pound eggplant, peeled if you like, and cubed. In Step 1, increase the oil to 2 tablespoons.
  • PAELLA WITH MUSHROOM CAPS
  • Instead of tomatoes and eggs, use 1 pound fresh mushrooms like cremini (sometimes called "baby bellas") or shiitake. Trim the stems and save them for another use, but leave the caps whole. Proceed with the recipe, putting the caps on top of the rice, smooth side up.
  • PAELLA WITH SPINACH AND LEMON ZEST
  • You'll have to pile the spinach up on top of the rice, but it will cook down and form a lovely green topping: Instead of tomatoes and eggs, use 1 pound fresh spinach, rinsed, trimmed of thick stems, and chopped. When you put it in the bowl with the olive oil, add 1 tablespoon minced lemon zest.
  • PAELLA WITH FAVA BEANS
  • You could also make this with limas or edamame: Instead of the tomatoes and eggs, use 1 cup shelled and peeled fava beans (frozen are fine).

PAELLA WITH TOMATOES

The cooking process for this simple paella is identical to any other: soften some onions in oil, add seasonings (including saffron, if you have it), rice and liquid and cook. Adding lightly seasoned tomatoes is the major difference in this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your paella. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful bomba or Valencia rice, and high-quality paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the rice over medium-high heat. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the bottom of the pan, which is a traditional part of paella.
  • Stir the rice frequently. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to evenly distribute the flavors.
  • Add the tomatoes and eggs towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and will also help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the paella immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Paella with tomatoes and eggs is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and it is also a perfect dish for a party or potluck. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious paella that will impress your family and friends.
