We like to eat meatless at least once a week, so I was experimenting and came up with this recipe.

1 cup rice

1 cup pinot grigio

1 cup water

3 tbs of olive oil

1 Vidalia onion ( diced)

2 cloves of garlic (sliced)

1 can whole or diced tomatoes

6 portabello mushroom caps ( the large size) diced

generous pinch of saffron

salt and pepper to taste

in a paella pan take the onion and sautéed in olive oil until translucent , add the garlic and rice and lightly sautee, add the wine and cook until the wine is absorbed by the rice add the can of tomatoes , saffron, salt and pepper, slowly add the water and cook until the rice is tender. Add the diced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

It DOES really sound good! Thanks for posting.

I don't have a paella pan, not sure what it is...anyone have a suggestion on the best type of pan to use?

any large flat on the bottom pan will do it just needs to large enough for the ingredients. My friend has used a high sided chicken fryer pan in a pinch.

Thanks for the recipe, LoveShelties!

I use a 3 qt. covered saute pan to make paella in. Works just fine. Looks something like this:
