Vegan Chorizo Paella

Paella is one of my favourite spanish recipes and is easy to make vegan! It is also super simple to make and requires just one pot/pan.

I’ve used chorizo style sausages and these are fried in oil first which adds flavour to the dish, before setting aside and adding once the rice has cooked.

You want to get your hands on spanish paella rice (bomba) which most big supermarkets will sell. It’s a short grain rice a bit like arborio rice which holds it’s shape well once cooked.

Vegan Paella With Soy Chorizo

This will create a layer of toasted rice on the bottom which is called socarrat and adds flavour to the dish. So don’t throw it away or worry that bits are sticking to the bottom of the pan.

You also want to use a large shallow frying pan to cook paella so use the largest you have and on the biggest hob/burner. I used this paella pan which I got for under £10 from amazon (affiliate link).

Once the vegan chorizo has been fried and is crispy, remove it and set aside and make your sofrito. Add finely chopped onion and garlic and fry for around 5 minutes on medium heat until soft.

Vegan Chorizo Sausage Recipe

At this point it will already smell amazing, you want the pepper to be starting to colour and brown before adding the bomba paella rice. This get stirred and cooked for a minute until translucent on the edges.

Pour in the saffron infused stock and leave to simmer for 10 minutes, don’t be tempted to stir it before then. Stir once and then let cook for another 10 minutes.

The rice should be al dente, if you need a little more time then add some extra water. A couple of minutes before its done add the frozen peas and chorizo sausage.

Finish with the juice of a lemon and lots of fresh parsley and it’s ready to be shared with family and friends! The best way to enjoy food is with your loved ones and this dish is certainly perfect for that!

Great recipe. We’ve had the chorizo shroomdogs in the freezer for ages and finally found a recipe for them! My only slight gripe is that it takes a lot longer to cook than the recipe suggests. Otherwise, fantastic.

Made this tonight and it was great! My only changes were that I didn't use the lemon (I don't like them), I substituted turmeric for saffron, and I used a bunch of fresh herbs from my garden rather than just parsley. I cooked it in a large, cast iron pan and behaved myself even when I wanted to stir! Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Jonan, thanks so much for your comment! So glad you enjoyed it and glad those subs turned out :) Tamsin xo
