List of ingredients for Vegetarian paella (2)


* 8 Green beans (Chopped)
* 150g Asparagus spears (ends trimmed)
* 1 Courgette (Sliced)
* 1 medium Carrot (Diced)
* 1 medium Onion (Chopped)
* Half Red pepper (Chopped)
* 200g chopped tinned Tomatoes
* 2 Cloves of garlic
* 4 strands of Saffron (if available)
* Half teaspoon of Paella Colourant
* Half teaspoon of Paprika Dulce
* 300g Bomba Rice
* 100g Frozen Garden peas
* Small tin of Black olives
* 250ml of Vegetable stock
* 125ml of White wine (optional)
* Water (if required)
* 2 Bay leaves
* Salt and Pepper to taste
* Chopped Fresh Parsley
* Lemon wedges to garnish

===Method===
* Chop the Garlic, Onion, Pepper and Vegetables.
* In your Paella pan (38cm to 42cm recommended) pour in around 2 tablespoons of Extra virgin olive oil and set heat to medium to high.
* Add Onions, Garlic, Red pepper, Carrot, Green beans and cook for 3 minutes until Onions are starting to soften.
* Add the Bay leaves, Asparagus, Courgette, half tin of Tomatoes, Wine, Vegetable stock and bring to the Boil.
* Then add Paprika Dulce, Paella Colourant, Saffron (Grind up the strands with a Pestle and mortar to start the flavour flowing), Garden peas and stir round (the smell from this should be amazing!).
* Sprinkle the Bomba Rice evenly around the pan, stir in and bring back up to Boiling and turn down the heat to Simmer ( add water if Rice soaks up the liquid quickly).
* Cook for a further 20 minutes or until the Rice is soft to bite. Keep stirring throughout so the Bomba Rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan (Although in Spain Traditional Paella is cooked to stick to the bottom of the pan so the choice is yours).
* Add the Black olives, remove the Bay leaves and stir in the fresh chopped Parsley. Season to taste with Salt and Black pepper.
* Take off the heat and cover for 5 minutes to let all the ingredients truly infuse together.
