Vegan Paella

By request I made a Vegan Paella tonight.

It was not a traditional Paella, but it was just as good! Over medium heat, in a deep frypan, brown a diced onion in olive oil. When browned, add two cups of arborio rice, this is a firmer and larger grain rice which is traditionally used in paella and Italian risotto.

Once the rice has absorbed the oil and the flavours in the pan add a cup of hot water which has been mixed with a teaspoon of Tumeric Powder and a teaspoon of Massel Vegetable stock or Vegeta. Add the raw kernels of one cob of corn, half a sliced red capsicum and freshly chopped continental (or flat leaf) parsley.

I was supposed to add green peas but I forgot to buy some! As the water is absorbed into the rice you will need to continue to add more. Add hot water in one cup increments until the paella rice is soft.

Add salt and freshly ground pepper of course. Lift and toss it as it cooks. Serve it in the pan.

Very easy to make.

Delicious!
