Spanish Paella Dishes
An internationally loved Spanish dish from its Valencia region, paella combines seafood or meat with vegetables and rice, in a fragrant broth. In Spain, paella actually means pan and connotes a shallow pan used for the dish.
Zucchini, onion, tomatoes and bell peppers stud this paella-inspired rice dish. You may add other vegetables, such as mushrooms and peas, or if you like something heartier, some slightly spicy Italian sausage is a good choice.
Paella started as an outdoor dish. Grilling seafood, zesty sausage and vegetables before combining them with saffron-scented rice replicates that traditional character. This takes a little planning to get everything finished as needed, but the results are worth it. The first time, for simplicity, do the grilling and slicing before cooking the rice. If you have a side-by-side grill and burner, later you can perform both tasks simultaneously, which makes you look like a cooking wizard. Note that perfectly done paella rice will be dry and the slightest bit toothsome: it's not creamy or overly moist.
These meatless and vegan versions of classic brunch recipes will quickly become family favorites.
