Vegan paella

Happy winter time everyone!

It’s time to start cooking some good old fashion comfort food. How about vegan paella? It’s so good you are not going to believe that only a few basic ingredients can make this result possible.

This dish is very colourful, super hearty and can satisfy anyone.

You can use any white beans you want, and green beans are optional- they add some great colour and make paella look very appetising.

For those who are worried about not being happy enough with the vegan dish, add some cheese on top or even chicken if you like. 

Ready? Let’s start cooking!
