Roast Vegetable Paella Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 3 cups water in a saucepan over high heat until steaming; reduce the heat to low and cover to keep hot. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a paella pan or very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms in an even layer and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the scallion whites, garlic and paprika; stir until the paprika is toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the wine and cook until the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups hot water, the cauliflower, rice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir once to distribute the ingredients but don?t stir again. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover with a lid or foil and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 14 minutes.
• Uncover and arrange the roasted pepper and olives on top. Increase the heat to medium to crisp the bottom, moving the pan for even browning, about 1 more minute. Top with the parsley and scallion greens.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch saute pan with a lid. Add the onion and celery and saute until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cherry tomatoes and salt and cook an additional 6 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to break down. Add the radishes and saute another 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and allow it to reduce by half. Add the chicken broth and then the saffron, rubbing it between your fingers to crumble a bit. Bring to a simmer and stir in the rice and the green beans. Simmer over medium-high heat, uncovered, for 5 minutes without disturbing. Scatter the red peppers and peas over the top and gently press them into the rice mixture; do not stir. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 7 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook for 3 minutes more, to make sure all the liquid is evaporated and to help develop a crust on the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with the smoked paprika and the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Core the tomatoes, cut into wedges and place in a medium bowl; season with salt, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and toss. Set aside.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or a paella pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, cayenne and saffron and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
• Add the fennel wedges and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the fennel and add the baby artichokes and eggplant to the skillet; cook until slightly tender, about 4 more minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced by about one-third. Stir in the rice and 1 3/4 teaspoons salt; add just enough water to cover the rice completely, 2 1/2 to 3 cups. Increase the heat to high and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Scatter the haricots verts and 2 tablespoons capers over the rice. Remove the pan from the heat and arrange the tomatoes on top; drizzle with any tomato juices.
• Transfer the paella to the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 20 minutes. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons capers and the piquillo peppers over the paella. Turn off the oven but leave the paella inside to continue cooking until the rice is tender, 15 to 20 more minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired
