Red Rice Paella with Vegetables and Cheese

Make your family a Spanish-style dinner — tasty, light, and healthy! This red rice paella is impossibly appetizing. Red rice seems to make everything better, from salads to main dishes, and it pairs beautifully with meat, fish, vegetables, and mushrooms. It also has some remarkable qualities that make it great for your health: it's rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, all of which do your body good. Because red rice is unpolished, it keeps the most valuable parts of the grain — the bran and the germ. Today I invite you to turn this unique ingredient into a Spanish classic: paella with mushrooms, vegetables, and cheese.

    1. Rinse the rice under cold water and put it on to cook. Once it comes to a boil, drain the water, add fresh water, and salt it. Red rice takes a bit longer than white — about 35 minutes over moderate heat. 2. While the rice cooks, trim the bell pepper and cut it into medium cubes. 3. Cut a young zucchini into rounds, then quarter each round. 4. Clean the mushrooms and onion. Dice the onion to match the pepper and zucchini. Slice the mushrooms. 5. Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and/or crosswise. 6. Peel the garlic and finely chop one clove together with the green onion. 7. Crush the second garlic clove and drop it into a hot skillet with olive oil. Fry briefly so the garlic perfumes the oil, then remove it. 8. Add the chopped shallot and zucchini to the pan and fry until lightly golden. 9. Meanwhile, carefully zest about ½ teaspoon of lime, taking only the top layer (no more than 1 mm), and chop it finely. 10. Add the bell pepper to the pan of vegetables and fry until golden, then add the mushrooms. 11. A few minutes later, add the tomatoes. Let them release their juices for a couple of minutes, then add the rice and stir. Season with salt and pepper and fry for a few minutes. 12. Finally, add the green onion, garlic, lime zest, and thyme, and squeeze in a few drops of lime juice. Stir and fry a little longer. The dish is ready — top with grated cheese and serve. Enjoy!
