Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a paella pan or Dutch oven. Add onion, tofu, pepper and carrots, cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, asparagus, tomatoes, paprika, turmeric, red pepper flakes and bay leaves, cook another 3-5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the rice, broth, and salt. Give it a good stir so the rice falls to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium or medium low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, uncovered.
- Do NOT stir the rice. Keep an eye on it as it cooks, so you can add more broth or water if the pan starts to get too dry.
- After it has been simmering for about 15 minutes, add the artichoke hearts, zucchini, and green peas to the pot.
- Once the paella has cooked for the full 20 minutes, cover and turn off the heat. Let this sit for about 10 minutes.
