Description
This quinoa paella is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional paella. Quinoa, rich in protein and fibre, replaces rice, offering a similar texture and a flavour that combines perfectly with fresh seafood. Preparing this dish in the Thermomix® makes the process much easier, ensuring even cooking and a spectacular result. Ideal for a family meal or a special dinner, this paella is an explosion of Mediterranean flavours. I often prepare it in spring, when peas are at their best. A dish that always triumphs!
