Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or paella pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the bell peppers, zucchini, and green beans. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the rice, saffron threads, and smoked paprika. Stir to coat the rice with the oil and spices.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, without stirring, for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  7. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley before serving.
