A Kind Of Paella

 There's an alchemy between veggies spices and rice. They all work together to form a wonderful dish. The SPaniush have been making this for centuries  -.Paella, This is a wonderful meld of those three ingredients.

I wanted this dish  yet didnt want all the work with it. It starts with a melange of different cut veggies, tomatoes , boiled  potatoes, bell  peppers squash and Japanese eggplant.It's not exactly a traditional paella base but it is delicious.

These were first cooked down in a  generous mix of butter and olive oil.All this takes a while to cook down.Paella requires spicing namely oregano.

I used abiut a good two tablespoons of it. and sprinkled it all over the veggies. 

I also added a good an=mount about a tablespoon of onion and garlic powders along wit more olive oil. Two cups if water are also added to create a kind of sauce.

Cooking them down does tale time - about twenty to thirty  minutes to get all the veggies tender.

At the same time I made Goya Yellow Rice.It's not saffron rice that would traditionally

This takes longer to cook than traditional white rice but it is tasty. It was a good twenty -fie minute boil under the rice was thoroughly cooked and absorbed the oil and water.

It was a good mix of veggies and rice. I can also have the veggies as a kind of ratatouille with French bread too,.

The Goya Yellow Rice was the perfect foil to this . It was kind of like a veggie based paella ,I would make it again, but with vegan chicken and chorizo for a more authentic taste.

There's a definite alchemy between veggies, spices and rice This kind of paella is proff of that. Try it to enjoy the produce of the season
