Hello! Long time no see! I haven’t died… sadly. Life is too long a journey. -end of depressive moping- I’ve been pretty busy recently… but… I’m back! Today I’ve come to tease you with a recipe for my favourite Vegan Paella. Some may say it’s blasphemous to create a Vegan Paella recipe but…. I don’t really care now do I?! To me, Paella is all about the plump little grains of saffron infused rice, and everything else is just secondary.

Our Vegan Paella is loaded with mushrooms, artichoke hearts (first time trying this for us, it’s weird! In a good way though), red and yellow bell pepper, roma tomatoes and sweet little green peas. I was going to add Vegan Chicken bits to it but I completely forgot to get some at the grocery store so that plan went down the drain. THIS VEGAN PAELLA WAS YUM! Not even kidding, I don’t usually toot my own horn. I have better things to do than indulge in self praise.

The first thing to note about making Paella, whether Vegan or not is: get a proper Paella pan! This really makes all the difference – paella pans help to form that amazing crust (socarrat) at the bottom, which adds the finishing taste / texture touch to any good paella recipe. Another thing to note is to use Bomba Rice which is absolutely the perfect type for making Paella. I’ve left you two Amazon links below if you’re interested in using the exact same stuff I used in making my vegan paella recipe. Trust me – these products really did make a difference!

Well…. with all of that said, the neigbours in the opposite apartment are creating a drunken ruckus outside the house so I’m going outside now to give them a piece of my mind. And perhaps a molotov cocktail. I hate them, they spilled chips all over the communal garden. I feel like smashing the pan of Vegan Paella on their faces, but thou shalt not waste GOOD FOOD. ARGH. Anyway, I’ll leave you with our scrummy, simple recipe for Vegan Paella. And remember guys, DON’T STIR YOUR PAELLA! EVIL!
