Directions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large paella pan or a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cook until they start to brown.
Toss in the sliced bell peppers, green beans, and zucchini. Keep on stirring for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir the saffron threads and sweet paprika into the cooking vegetables. Then add the rice. Continue to stir the mixture until the rice is well coated with the oil and spices.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat, and into the paella pan, place the halved artichoke hearts and frozen peas.
Allow the paella to simmer for about 25-30 minutes. Do not stir once the stock has been added as it will prevent the formation of the delicious 'socarrat' crust at the bottom of the pan.
Season the finished paella with salt and pepper according to taste before removing it from the heat. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes so that the flavors can meld together.
Serve the vegetarian paella straight from the pan, garnished with fresh parsley and wedges of lemon on the side.
