Instructions

Peel carrots and cut them into sticks (2cm long x 1/2cm wide). Cut asparagus in 3 to 4 cm chunks, having snapped off their tougher ends first. Cut broccoli florets in quarters.
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan. Add finely diced onion and garlic. Cook until soft and golden.
Add carrots, broccoli, asparagus and broad beans. Cook for a few minutes.
Add rice, paprika, saffron and vegetable stock. Mix well. Simmer gently until stock is absorbed, making sure not to overcook the rice.
When rice is cooked, add drained artichoke hearts cut in half plus preserved lemons. Add a dash of smoked paprika and chopped parsley leaves. Blend carefully. Season to taste. Serve straight away.
