How to Prepare Autumn Mushroom and Squash Paella [Vegan]
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the delicata squash in half and remove seeds with a spoon. Then, slice squash into 1/2-inch slices. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread across a baking sheet. Do with same with the cauliflower florets and spread across the same baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing once.
- In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a large skillet. Add in sliced mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. Sauté until mushrooms are golden, then remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter and sliced yellow onions. Sauté onions until golden brown.
- Add diced tomatoes into onions and stir to combine. Next, add in 2 cups of brown rice and stir once again to coat. Toast rice for 1-2 minutes, then add in vegetable broth, cinnamon, saffron, and paprika. Stir to evenly disperse liquid and spices. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cover. Cook for 40-45 minutes over medium low heat.
- After almost all of the liquid is absorbed, stir in frozen peas and cooked mushrooms. Cook for another few minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice develops a bit of a crusty the sides and bottom of the pan.
- Top with delicata squash around the edges in a circle, and place the roasted cauliflower in the center. Sprinkle with lots of freshly chopped parsley and pumpkin or squash seeds. Serve.
