Vegan Paella with Artichokes and Saffron - Simple & Mediterranean
A delicious vegan paella with artichokes and saffron brings the sunny Spanish lifestyle directly into your kitchen. As a hobby cook, I love this dish especially because it is free of animal products yet achieves incredible depth of flavor through high-quality saffron. This paella is healthy, fresh, and surprisingly quick to make, even when cooking for one. The combination of tender artichoke hearts, aromatic paprika powder, and perfectly cooked rice is a real highlight for any palate. Don't worry about the preparation: even though paella is often considered a great art in Spain, I'll show you an easy method that guarantees success. We avoid convenience products completely, relying instead on crisp vegetables and homemade vegetable broth. Grab your pan and let's whip up this Mediterranean feast together, which not only tastes fantastic but also looks wonderfully colorful on the plate. Meow, this will be a feast for your senses!
Ingredients
Preparation
Finely dice the onion (1) and cut the red bell pepper (1) into small strips. This is important for the texture, meow!
Heat the olive oil (2 tbsp) in a shallow pan and sauté the onion (1) and red bell pepper (1) until translucent.
Now add the paella rice (100 g) to the pan and sauté briefly until it becomes slightly glossy.
Stir in the sweet paprika powder (1 tsp) – be careful not to burn it, or it will become bitter!
Pour the vegetable broth (250 ml) with the saffron threads (1 pinch) into the pan so that everything is covered.
Halve the artichoke hearts (3) and carefully distribute them on top of the rice.
Simmer everything over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the liquid has been almost completely absorbed. Do not stir anymore so that a nice crust can form at the bottom!
