The caramelized crust, distinctive aroma, and deep flavors make this an irresistible meal! It’s the perfect meal to enjoy with your loved ones. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tutturosso. The opinions and texts are all mine. A good authentic paella does take a bit of time, but it is a labor of love and the results could not be tastier! Paella is pronounced like “pai-ei-uh”. There are many versions of Paella and mine is a vegan/vegetarian recipe. This indulgent vegan/vegetarian Paella recipe has a mildly sweet, spicy, and salty flavor. It is hearty, aromatic, and full of addictive flavors. It is very similar to Risotto. Here’s a Fun fact - Paella is a Valencian word that means frying pan, from which the dish gets its name. You also get them in whole, peeled, diced, chopped, hand crushed, paste, and puree form. As a brand, Tuttorosso really ensures that the quality is not compromised. Every tomato is washed 7 times, rinsed 18 times, hand-sorted 11 times, mechanically sorted 6 times, and ran through 270 quality tests every hour to ensure only the best tomatoes are in every can of Tuttorosso. They are made with NON-GMO ingredients and Non-BPA lined cans which is a HUGE plus. They don’t use artificial preservatives, rather, they use steam to preserve them. No wonder they are the best-selling Italian-inspired canned tomato brand in the US. You can find them in all leading grocery stores. To help you find a store near you, click here.
Recipes with Tuttorosso
Here are some recipes that I have made using Tuttorosso - Instant Pot Italian Chili, Tomato Cheddar Scones, and Instant Pot Minestrone Soup. I have used Tuttorosso® Petite Diced Tomatoes for this Spanish Paella recipe and I feel it just helped elevate the flavors of this one-pot dish. This type of rice is going to do the best job of absorbing liquid (flavor) from the dish. Tomatoes - You need a can of Tuttorosso® Petite Diced Tomatoes for this recipe. Veggies and beans - onions, bell pepper, garlic, mushrooms, and chickpeas are what I have used. This will make the vegan paella more hearty and filling. Spices and herbs - oregano, turmeric, smoked paprika, black pepper, and parsley are some of the basic spices you need to make this paella delicious. Saffron is one of the key ingredients in this vegan rice recipe. Use good quality saffron. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is also added to finish the dish.
What pan to use
Traditional Spanish paella is made on a grill using a paella pan that is a wide, round, and shallow dish with handles on two sides. No worries if you don’t have one, you can also use the Our place pan or the Le Creuset Pan to make this vegan Spanish rice. Basically, it needs to be a large, shallow pan. Another great alternative is to make this vegan/vegetarian Paella recipe in an Instant Pot.
However, you can serve it on individual plates. Vegan Paella can be served for lunches, dinners, brunches, potlucks, parties, date nights,
What to serve it with
You can serve this veggie Paella with Mango Gazpacho Soup, Air-Fried Green Beans, Cherub Tomatoes Salad, Tomato Cheddar Scones, Cucumber Lemonade, or Cherry Lemon Iced Tea. Instead of homemade vegetable broth, you can also use water or low-sodium broth from the stores. If using store-bought stock, taste and then add salt to the Paella. When cooking on the stovetop, it’s very important to not stir paella at all once the broth has been added to the pan. Like this recipe? Please show your love by leaving a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟rating below!
