Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Paella

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of diced onions and 3 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in 2 cups of Bomba or Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the aromatic oil. Allow the rice to toast for 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon of saffron and 1 teaspoon of paprika to the rice mixture, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices. Cook for about 1 minute.
Pour in 4 cups of gluten-free broth and bring to a gentle boil. Season lightly with salt to taste.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer for 20-25 minutes.
With just 5 minutes left, gently fold in 1 cup of mixed vegetables and 1 cup of seafood. Allow these ingredients to steam on top of the rice.
Once the seafood is cooked and the rice has absorbed the broth, let your paella rest for 5 minutes before serving garnished with parsley.
