This vegan paella is bursting with flavor. Spanish rice is simmered in vegetable stock and wine, then combined with saffron, spanish spices, and delicious veggies.
In a large stock pot, combine 4 cups of vegetable stock and 2 cups of white wine.
Bring to a boil, and add rice. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a paella pan (or deep oven-safe frying pan), heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
Add bell peppers and onions, and cook for 5 minutes.
Add shiitake mushrooms, and cook for 3 more minutes.
Add artichoke hearts, piquillo peppers, garlic, capers, saffron, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add rice into paella pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Check on the paella every 10 minutes, adding a bit of the remaining vegetable stock each time so that the paella stays juicy.
