Y’all I made a sofrito from scratch and added salt throughout the recipe and the paella still turned out so bland 😭 I had to use cannellini beans because I can’t even find lima beans these days, I put those and the artichokes in right before the rice. I updated the recipe ingredients and step descriptions to make sense. Also, this made a TON of paella, more like 6-8 servings even though I reduced it from the original recipe already! At least it looked cute. Do not skip the lemon garnish.
Toddler approved! Used/substituted ingredients with what I already had on hand: elbow macaroni, dubliner cheddar and mozzarella cheese, bouillon and water (instead of broth). Initial bake with foil took 20 min even with hot liquid ingredients- probably because I used a glass 9x13 Pyrex dish
