Oven Baked Paella
2 July 2020

Oven Baked Veggie Paella

This recipe came about as I decided I didn’t want to use the hob as well as the oven. By no means is this an authentic paella, but is is one that follows the flavours (without the very expensive saffron), increased veg, and adapted for our veggie daughter who dislikes small chunks of different textures in her food.

I have given options too for meat/fish eaters.

Enjoy – Jo

Nutritional Benefits:

Tomatoes contain vitamins C and E, anticancer properties and may ease symptoms of asthma. Adding fat (as in rapeseed or      olive oil) boosts the  absorption of the valuable antioxidant lycopene and vitamins further.

Onions contain vitamin C and  compounds which have  anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and  antibacterial  properties, help to lower bad LDL cholesterol and raise good HDL cholesterol thus reducing the risk of heart  disease as well as regulating insulin response (insulin resistance is often a precursor to developing type 2  diabetes).

Chickpeas are full of fibre (essential for good digestive health and helps to lower blood cholesterol), protein (helps in cell repair) folate, potassium and magnesium (helps to protect against heart disease).

Peppers are a rich source of vitamin C (for healthy cells and to absorb iron), E (for healthy cells and circulation) and B6 and again have anti-cancer properties.

The sulphur compounds in garlic which create its odour also offer many health benefits from minimising the risk of heart disease, certain cancers (colon, stomach and prostrate), can help to prevent stomach ulcers and is a natural antibiotic, antiviral and  antifungal food.

Peas, green beans, and beans are all legumes with a high protein content essential for all structures in the body to rebuild itself. They contain B vitamins to unlock energy from food and a healthy blood and  immune system, vitamin C; helping to  absorb iron, create healthy skin, teeth and bones and immune system, vitamin K; used by the body to form blood clots and help wounds heal and like all vegetables are full of soluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps to control and lower blood cholesterol, prevent strokes and heart disease.

 

The recipes are free to everyone to use (please give credits to us if you choose to use them), and always will be, but our website (and non-profit organisation) incurs costs to keep it running. If you would like to help keep it going, please consider giving a donation.

Thank you
