Paella Westlandpeppers

Here's how to make it

1
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Bring the broth to a boil, add the saffron threads, and let them steep in the broth for at least 5 minutes. The broth will turn a vibrant yellow.

2
Finely chop the red peppers, onion, and garlic, and cut the snack peppers into pieces. Set aside 4 snack peppers for garnish. Heat a large paella pan with olive oil and add 1 tbsp Ñora pepper rub. Sauté briefly, then add the onion, red pepper, and snack peppers with a pinch of salt. Cook the vegetables for at least 15 minutes until they're soft. Add the tomatoes, garlic, and paprika powder, and let the vegetables simmer for 15 minutes until they form a thick sauce.

3
Add the rice and peas/broad beans, and stir well for 1-2 minutes. Add the broth to the rice, stirring well to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the pan. Cook the rice for 5 minutes without stirring.

4
Place the Pimientos de Padron peppers and the 4 snack peppers (in strips) on top of the paella, then put the paella in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and the Padron and snack peppers are roasted. Take the paella out of the oven, cover it with a lid or tea towel, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges, olive oil, and (sea) salt.
