SPICY TOMATO PAELLA WITH CHARD, BROCCOLI & KIDNEY BEANS

by Zars Kitchen Admin

Paella Day today!! Don’t call the paella police on me as this one is far from traditional… 

I used paella rice in this gorgeous vegetarian dish, then added pantry staples.. lots of heat and spice, super comforting and packed with veg. You could add a dollop of yogurt on top too to cool it down as it’s got a kick!  

Perfect for #MeatFreeMonday and on the table in under an hour!
