Recipe 🍛 Black Rice Vegetable Paella!!
This recipe will make you feel like summer and sitting on a Spanish Bodega 🫶🏼
Ingredients:
1 cup black rice
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 broccoli head, chopped roughly
1 zucchini, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 firm tofu block, pressed and cut into cubes (I recommend using a tofu press)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh sprouts for garnish
Optional: Add cashew cream on top
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the black rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, tofu, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
4. Stir in the smoked paprika, saffron threads, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Add the cooked black rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
6. Serve the black rice vegetable paella hot, garnished with fresh parsley. I like to serve min in a small paella pan.
7. Enjoy your flavorful and colorful black rice vegetable paella as a delicious and nutritious meal!
