Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion

• 2 clove garlic
• 250 g paella rice
• 800 ml vegetable broth
• 1 pinch saffron threads

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and soften for 6-7 minutes.
2. Stir in chopped red and yellow bell peppers and sliced garlic; cook for 2 more minutes. Add paella rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat.
