Paella with Millets

Description

Plant-based paella, crafted with an assortment of wholesome ingredients, brings a burst of flavor and nutrition to the table. The base of millets, quinoa, and brown rice provides a rich source of complex carbohydrates, offering sustained energy while supporting digestive health due to their high fiber content. The millet, in particular, is a gluten-free grain known for its high magnesium content, which can help support heart health and bone strength.

The addition of saffron elevates the dish with its earthy flavor and vibrant golden hue. Saffron is not only a culinary delight but also offers various health benefits, including acting as a powerful antioxidant and helping to boost mood, reduce inflammation, and support brain health.

Smoked paprika and regular paprika give the dish a deep, smoky flavor and a mild heat, while dried thyme and oregano lend a herby, aromatic touch that is rich in antioxidants, helping to support the immune system and promote overall well-being. The vibrant red bell pepper adds a crisp sweetness and is an excellent source of vitamin C, contributing to immune support and skin health.

The addition of healing broth infuses the paella with a savory depth, providing hydrating electrolytes and minerals to support hydration and overall body function. Green peas and cooked chickpeas add a satisfying texture along with plant-based protein, fiber, and iron, which contribute to muscle health, satiety, and blood circulation.

Lemon juice not only adds a zesty, refreshing flavor but is also packed with vitamin C, aiding in the absorption of iron from plant-based sources and promoting skin health. A sprinkle of sea salt enhances the flavors and provides trace minerals essential for electrolyte balance.

Overall, this plant-based paella is a nourishing, anti-inflammatory meal, packed with vitamins, minerals, and plant-based proteins that support everything from digestive health to immune function and skin vitality. It’s an antioxidant-rich dish that’s as flavorful as it is beneficial to your health.
