Easy Vegan Paella 🥘
Tumblr media
Hot delicious vegan paella is an exquisite culinary creation that tantalizes the taste buds and showcases the vibrant flavors of plant-based ingredients. With a harmonious blend of aromatic spices, tender grains of saffron-infused rice, and a colorful medley of fresh vegetables, this vegan version of the classic Spanish dish is a testament to the creativity and innovation of plant-based cuisine. Each mouthful offers a delightful explosion of flavors, as the rich tomato base intermingles with the smoky undertones of paprika, while the vegetables lend their unique textures and natural sweetness. The absence of animal products does not compromise the dish's depth and complexity, but rather allows the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through, creating a truly memorable and satisfying dining experience. Whether you follow a vegan lifestyle or simply appreciate exceptional food, hot delicious vegan paella is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the incredible possibilities of plant-based cooking.
Ingredients:
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 cup kidney beans (cooked or canned)
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 cups paella rice (such as Arborio or Bomba rice)
3 cups vegetable broth
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the vegetables: Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or paella pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the sliced bell peppers and green beans to the pan, and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the smoked paprika, turmeric, dried oregano, and saffron threads (if using). Make sure the spices coat the vegetables evenly.
Add the paella rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with the spice mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes, check the rice. If it's still too firm, add a little more vegetable broth and continue simmering for another 5 minutes.
Once the rice is almost cooked and the liquid has been mostly absorbed, add the kidney beans to the pan. Stir gently to incorporate them into the rice.
Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. If needed, add more vegetable broth in small amounts to keep the rice moist.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the paella from the heat. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the vegan paella hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze some lemon juice over the paella before eating for added brightness.
Enjoy your flavourful and delicious vegan paella!

This recipe is perfect for anyone who wants to add more plant-based meals to their diet without sacrificing flavor. The combination of red kidney beans, sweet corn, onion, and green beans on a bed of rice creates a filling and satisfying meal that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.
But what is jackfruit, you might ask? Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that's native to Southeast Asia. It has a meaty texture that's similar to pulled pork, making it an excellent meat substitute for vegan and vegetarian dishes. When seasoned with Mexican spices, jackfruit takes on a deliciously savoury flavour that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients in this recipe.
Ingredients
Before we get started, let's go over the ingredients you'll need to make this recipe:
3 large bell peppers

Preparing the Filling
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the chopped green beans, red kidney beans, and sweet corn to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Add the shredded jackfruit and spices to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Assembling and Baking

While the bell peppers are baking, prepare your rice according to package instructions.
Serving and Enjoying
Once the bell peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Place a spoonful of rice on each plate and top with a stuffed bell pepper. Garnish with cilantro or avocado, if desired.

Vegan beef wellington, Moroccan roasted potatoes, carrots and broccoli.
Tumblr media
If you're looking for a hearty and satisfying vegan meal, you can't go wrong with beef Wellington. Traditionally made with beef tenderloin, buttery pastry and a mushroom duxelles, this dish is a showstopper that's perfect for special occasions or a cosy dinner at home. But what if you're following a plant-based diet? Fear not! This vegan beef Wellington recipe is just as impressive and delicious as the original, with a few tweaks to make it 100% animal-free. Instead of beef, we'll use soya mince, a high-protein, low-fat alternative that's perfect for this dish. We'll also add a Moroccan twist to our roasted potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, for a flavourful and colourful side dish that complements the Wellington perfectly. So let's get cooking!
Section 1: Making the Wellington filling
The key to a good beef Wellington is the filling. In this vegan version, we'll use soya mince, which has a similar texture and flavour to ground beef. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
1 cup of dried soya mince
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
4. Add the soya mince, tomato paste, and soy sauce to the pan, and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the soya mince has absorbed the flavors and is heated through.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside to cool.
Section 2: Assembling the Wellington
Now that our filling is ready, it's time to assemble the Wellington. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
1 sheet of vegan puff pastry, thawed
1 tablespoon of vegan margarine
1 tablespoon of flour
1 tablespoon of plant milk
Instructions:
1. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle that's about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Spread the vegan margarine over the pastry, making sure to cover the edges.
3. Spoon the cooled filling onto the center of the pastry, leaving about 2 inches of space on each side.
4. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts on the pastry on each side of the filling, about 1 inch apart.
5. Fold the pastry strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided effect.
6. In a small bowl, mix the flour and plant milk to create a paste. Brush this over the pastry to give it a golden, shiny finish.
7. Transfer the Wellington to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Section 3: Making the Moroccan roasted potatoes, carrots, and broccoli
No beef Wellington is complete without a side dish that complements the flavors and adds some color to the plate. For this vegan version, we'll make a Moroccan-inspired roasted vegetable medley that's bursting with flavor and texture. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
1 pound of baby potatoes, halved
4 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
1 tablespoon of ground coriander
1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to create a spice blend.
3. Add the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the spice blend.
4. Transfer the vegetables to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
And there you have it, a delicious and impressive vegan beef Wellington with Moroccan roasted potatoes, carrots, and broccoli! This dish is perfect for a special occasion, a romantic dinner, or a cosy night in with loved ones. The soya mince filling is flavourful and satisfying, while the puff pastry adds a touch of indulgence. The roasted vegetables add a pop of colour and texture, and the Moroccan spices bring a touch of exoticism to the dish. We hope you enjoy making and eating this dish as much as we did!
