23 August 2015 Saffron Scented Vegetable Paella

Recipe created by The Purple Carrot. Not too long ago, a good friend of ours made a more authentic paella for us and it was, of course, unbelievable.   I would venture to say that my Spanish eating and cooking friends would most definitely assert that this is NOT paella.
