Description
from THE COMPLETE VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK
This may seem a long list of ingredients but this dish is straightforward to make. Do use a range of vegetables as they give the paella plenty of texture, colour and flavour. Saffron, tomato and paprika create warm undertones. You can, of course, use a number of other vegetables, such as broad beans, fine beans or coloured peppers, as well as adding cashew nuts or sliced egg for extra protein. This dish needs serving with nothing more than a crisp salad.
