Vegan Paella
Vegan Paella uses vegetable stock and white wine to cook Spanish rice infused with saffron, cayenne, and smoked paprika for aroma and color. Sautéed vegetables including bell peppers, onions, shiitake mushrooms, artichokes, piquillo peppers, and garlic create layers of flavor and texture. Baking the combined ingredients in the oven allows the rice to finish cooking while absorbing the seasoned stock.
