After eating on the less healthy side for the past few days, my sister and I decided to go to the Farmer’s Market today and make a vegetable inspired dish. Laden with corn, zucchini, shitaki mushrooms, green onions, spinach, parsley, and bell peppers, we decided to make vegetable paella. We got some arborio rice and we had plenty of tomatoes and spices at home. To bulk up the protein we added chickpeas. The paella is entirely vegan except for the aioli.

The finished dish looked like this-

I did not have a paella pan but my large skillet worked fine. We have a ton left over. We served ourselves a portion and garnished our plates with a radish and some aioli.
