More About This Recipe

  • If you like paella as much as I do, but you’re afraid you’ll ruin your diet, this recipe made with brown rice will be perfect for you. Simply use brown rice instead of white rice: leave it soaking overnight and you’ll cut down on its cooking time. Discard the soaking water and cook the rice as you normally wood. To save even more time, use Progresso™ vegetable broth. It adds a delicious flavor to this recipe. What other ingredient would you add?
