Ingredients

• ¼ cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 baby yellow squash, halved lengthwise
• 1 cup ½-inch eggplant cubes (about ½ globe eggplant)
• 3 cups cauliflower florets
• ¼ pound fresh wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle or oyster, sliced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 ripe plum tomatoes, diced
• ¼ cup sofrito
• 1 cup dry white wine
• pinch of saffron
• 3 cups flat mineral or filtered water
• 1 cup Spanish bomba or calasparra rice
• 2 ounces fresh or frozen green peas
• sea salt to taste
• 2 ounces piquillo peppers, cut into ½-inch-thick strips
• allioli

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a 13-inch paella pan over medium-high heat
2. Add the squash and brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side
3. Add the eggplant and cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes, then add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes
4. Stir in the plum tomatoes and the sofrito and cook for 1 minute
5. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes
6. Crumble the saffron into the pan and pour in the mineral water
7. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil
8. Let the mixture boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the rice and peas and stir until well combined
9. Reduce the heat to medium-high, season to taste with salt, and cook for 4 minutes
10. Do not stir the rice again, as this can cause it to cook unevenly
11. After 4 minutes, reduce the heat to low, lay the pepper strips on top of the paella, and cook for another 7 minutes
12. Remove the paella from the heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving
