Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1.5 cups short-grain rice
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon saffron threads soaked in 2 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
