Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 fennel bulbs, cut into thin wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • 300g paella rice
  • 1 litre vegetable stock (use GF stock, if required)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 x 250g pack pomodorino or baby plum tomatoes, halved
  • 150g pitted olives (a mix of colours and varieties, if you like)
  • ½ x 30g pack flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • juice of ½ lemon, plus wedges to serve

Step by step

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Heat the oil in a wide, shallow ovenproof casserole or large frying pan. Fry the onion and fennel until the fennel is tender when pierced with a knife, about 10-15 minutes. Add a splash of water if the onion starts to catch. Add the garlic and spices and fry for another minute.
  2. Add in the rice, and fry for a few minutes, mixing with the veg. Pour over the stock, add the bay leaves and season well, as the rice will absorb quite a bit of salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the tomatoes and olives, and transfer to the oven, uncovered.
    Tip
    If your pan isn’t ovenproof, you can always transfer the whole lot to a roasting tin before baking.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and leave to steam for 10 minutes. Scatter with the parsley and squeeze over the lemon before serving with more lemon wedges.
