paella

[cellio]

I tried a new recipe for "vegetable paella" tonight. (We will set aside the question of whether that is an oxymoron.) It was pretty yummy; I think it's a keeper. Ralph, it's in that vegetarian cookbook you gave me, in care you're curious. Next time I will decrease the salt.

The rice did not get as yellow as I would have liked. I used enough saffron and I bled the color out of it appropriately; I think there was just too much other liquid in there, or something. I'll have to think about how to modify it.

saffron yellow

Saffron rice never really comes out yellow enough, no matter how much saffron you use. Turmeric will produce a brighter yellow and won't significantly change the flavor. Actually for paella it's perfectly reasonable to have a slight turmeric flavor.
