Introduction
I use knorr vegetable stock to make this as well as a little white wine however the wine evaporates and the stock is minimal and will reduce upon cooking so I didn't include the calories for that. Personally, I don't think it adds much anyway. You should prepare the stock before starting. Nevertheless, water will do just as well and without adding calories or fat...

Add the mixed veg and allow to cook for a further 15 minutes. Keep checking that juices are ok and if becoming dry, add a little more stock or water. Wash your rice thoroughly in hot water and then add to the pan at which stage you should add the remaining tbsp of turmeric (or saffron). Cook for a further 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the rice used) and “voilá” you have a tasty Paella Dish.
