The other day, I went to a vegan family meal, and at one point, we talked about making a paella, which gave me this idea! In the end, we had an amazing Reunionese curry that day, but I thought, still, a good paella recipe would be a great idea! It’s a one-pan dish, so there’s not much washing up. It’s a fun, simple dish that pretty much everyone enjoys.

While reading about the origins of paella before creating this recipe, I realized that traditional paella was much less packed with meat and seafood than what we see today. This way of preparing it with a gazillion meats on top is actually quite recent 🥲. In the past, other ingredients were used, like marinated artichoke hearts. I decided to add spicy vegan sausages to complete the dish!

Steps

Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Dice the bell pepper.
In a pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and snow peas for a few minutes.
Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan and grill the sausages in the center. Turn them every 3 minutes to cook them evenly on all sides.
When the sausages are nicely grilled, transfer them to a plate. Add the rice and peas to the pan, mix, and deglaze with the broth. Add the saffron and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the rice is cooked and the liquid has evaporated, season with salt and rosemary. Smooth the top of the paella and arrange the grilled sausages, marinated artichoke hearts, and lemon wedges on top!
