In reply to Carolyn. Wonder if we could make it without the saffron?

I’ve been eating a lot more plant based recipes as well! Adding loads of vegetables into your dishes is such a great way to incorporate more micronutrients and fiber into your diet! This is such a wonderful take on paella 🙂

This looks fab! I’ve cooked your Paella from the cookbook (swap out the fish for chicken as I can’t eat seafood) and it’s amazing, so I’m excited to try this one. Plus it has artichokes, which I’ve never cooked with or eaten, so that will be something new to try (and hopefully delicious!)
Inspiralized and completely changed my diet for the better and I can’t wait for your new book! Thank you.

This looks incredible! More vegan recipes please 😀 also do you suggest a replacement for the broccoli? I can’t have cruciferous veggies :/

I made this for dinner tonight and it was so yummy! I had to buy the saffron and I about freaked when I saw how much it cost, but it was worth it. I will definitely make this again and may try adding shrimp too!

In reply to Barbara. It would be less salty and less spicy - perhaps add some extra salt and some spice (like chili powder, instead!)

I’m wondering if the taste would be ruined without the cayenne and olives. I can’t eat spicy and don’t like olives. I had vegetable paella in Spain and loved it! I’ve been dying to recreate it!

Great idea! I copied the concept, if not the actual ingredients. I had some carnitas that I fried in my cast iron pan, then made rice from a sweet potato, a carrot and a parsnip. Steamed it in chicken broth, added peas and put the meat on top. It was a beautiful presentation and my kids had no idea that they had just eaten an entire bowl of vegetables! Thanks!

I hadn’t ever thought of making rice out of carrots but they’d be perfect since they are a hard veggie. Now on to turnip and rutabaga rice as well. You might want to try them as a good Mexican Rice substitute because they would look the part better than cauliflower or Daikon radish rice. ¡Arriba!

Great to see a vegan version! I am not a seafood person, so, needless to say, I don’t enjoy paella in its most traditional form. Haha. I’m diggin’ the carrot rice noodles, too!

YES!!!! After having my first vegetarian paella a few years ago, I’ve been wanting to recreate it at home (but I’ve been too lazy, let’s be honest). This is fantastic! Thanks!
