Miso Roasted Vegetable stock
1. Preheat an oven to 190deg C
2. Combine all the fresh vegetables the miso and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Mix together until all the vegetables are coated in miso and oil. Lay the vegetables onto a couple of oven trays in a thin layer. Place in the oven and roast until dark brown and caramelized. The darker you make the vegetables the more intense the stock will be. But don’t burn them.
3. Add the vegetables into a large saucepan. Pour over the water, place on medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling reduces the heat so the stock simmers. Cook for 30 minutes, strain and chill the stock.
Paella
1. In a paella pan or large flat saucepan over a medium heat add a drizzle of olive oil and the onion, cook until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic, carrot and celery, cook until they soften. Add the tomato paste and cook until the colour gets darker and the tomato paste thickens. Add the mushrooms and cook for a minute or so.
2. In a pot over low heat combine the stock, smoked paprika and saffron. Bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Add the rice and gently mix through the vegetables. Add the stock and bring to the boil. From this stage don’t mix the paella. Let the stock boil then reduce the heat slightly. Cook until the level of the stock goes below the rice.
4. At this stage add the capsicum and peas to the top of the rice and continue cooking.
5. Once all the rice is cooked and the stock has been absorbed turn off the heat. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve straight away.
