DescriptionTraditional paella originated in the city of Valencia in Eastern Spain. There are many variations that use a combination of vegetables, but the key ingredient that gives paella its unique flavor is saffron. Ingredients2 cups Uncle Bens whole grain rice 1 cup quinoa 1 cup onions, diced 1 cup red bell peppers, diced 1 cup mushrooms, diced ½ cup carrots, diced 6 garlic cloves, crushed 1 cup cooked chickpeas 1-2 tsp saffron threads ¼ tsp turmeric 2½ cups vegetable broth ½ cup white wine or another cup of vegetable broth 1 bunch asparagus or 1 cup green beans ½ cup frozen peas ¼ cup frozen corn (optional) Sea salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup roasted red bell peppers, sliced in strips Directions1. Sauté the onions, peppers and carrots for 3 minutes adding some vegetable broth if needed. 2. Add the mushrooms, chickpeas and seasonings and cook for 3 minutes. 3. Add the rice, quinoa, vegetable broth, and wine (if using). 4. Bring to a low boil, cover, and reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25-30 minutes. 5. While the rice and quinoa cook, prepare the asparagus or green beans separately. 6. Blanch the asparagus or green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain well. If cooking the asparagus, roast in the oven at 350 degrees F or cook in a pan for 5 minutes. 7. Add the corn and peas to the rice and cover for 5 minutes. 8. Remove from the heat. 9. Arrange roasted red peppers and asparagus on top of the rice and serve. NotesI like to use whole grain parboiled rice for Spanish rice dishes. Uncle Bens whole grain is my favorite.
