Paella is a rice dish from
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice
8 oz. of tofu, grilled and cut into
bite-size pieces
1 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup zucchini, diced
1 fresh tomato, remove the seeds and dice (1
cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs olive oil
Spices: smoked paprika, salt, one package of
sazon goya, and lemon juice (1 tbs)
Directions:
Drain tofu and slice into 1/2 inch thick
pieces and then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp each of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and
onion powder to flavor the tofu.
Add one tablespoon of oil on a grill pan and
grill the tofu on both sides until golden brown. Let cool off and cut into cubes.
Use the same pan and add a little oil. Place all
the vegetables into the pan and pan fry them for few minutes. Season with salt
and pepper.
In a large shallow skillet, heat 1 tbs oil
over medium heat.
Add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook
until fragrant.
Stir in rice and press down to cover the
bottom of the skillet. Do not stir for 2 minutes until the rice starts to
sizzle and stick to the bottom.
Add grilled tofu and vegetables into the rice.
Stir and mix. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Paella is now ready to serve.
Tip: I use one package of Sazon Goya to give
this dish an orange color. The skillet photo is the paella pan.
