  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch saffron
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. 1Warm broth with saffron.
  2. 2Saute onion, garlic and bell pepper in a wide pan. Add tomatoes and smoked paprika.
  3. 3Stir in rice, then add saffron broth. Simmer without excessive stirring until rice is nearly tender.

💡 Chef's Tip

Once the broth is added, avoid constant stirring; allowing the rice to cook undisturbed helps create the character of paella.
