ชามสเปน "โชริโซ"

I was skeptical a veggie bowl could pull off that smoky, meaty chorizo vibe, but the smoked paprika and saffron in the sofrito totally sold me. The roasted red peppers give it a nice sweetness that balances the spice. It's become my go-to lunch when I want something hearty without the heaviness.

The saffron really comes through in the sofrito, giving it that deep, earthy richness I’d expect from a proper paella. I added a bit of extra smoked paprika on top and it was gone in five minutes flat.
