Vegetable paella

Ingredients

  • 200 g paella or risotto rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 4 tbsp peas
  • 4 tbsp green beans, chopped
  • 1 pinch saffron or 1 tsp mild paprika
  • 700 ml unsalted stock
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Soften the onion and pepper in the oil. Add the rice and stir a minute.
  2. Add the stock and saffron; simmer without stirring 20 minutes until the rice is soft.
  3. Add the peas and beans for the last 5 minutes. Serve your child's portion; salt the adults'.
Safety: Peas squashed for a young toddler. Cool cooked rice quickly. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Eat the day it is made.
Tip: Rice that stays put in a spoon. Add prawns for the adults once shellfish has been introduced.
