Few weeks ago, I was having lunch with some Spanish friends. They prepared paella, and explained to me all the basis, on how to easily make it at home.
Couldn’t wait to make it myself, so I run to the kitchen the next day and prepared this delicious paella packed with lots of vegetables and plant protein from beans.
It’s so good and so quick to make, you should definitely try.
I am always grateful to people who love to share their family recipes with me and give me permission to post them on the blog, and couldn’t be happier with all the family recipes I’ve collected through years. Food is love. Thank you for sharing it with me.
