"reviewBody": "Excellent. I used Arborio rice as I had it. Thank you to those who mentioned cutting the broth by one cup when switching from Bomba to Arborio rice. I also upped the veggies because the garden begged me to! It was great! This is a remarkably easy paella that hits all the benchmarks for a great recipe. The foundation is so spot on that the flexibility is there. I did up the smoked paprika and saffron a bit to accommodate all the extra veggies. It was a huge amount of food and the leftovers were enjoyed. Thanks Heidi!",

Finished it with fresh sheep cheese, chopped marcona almonds, herbs and nasturtium leaves. Was a little scared about how much broth was added but it turned out completely ace. The best thing to make for a small gathering!",

"reviewBody": "This was delicious. Making and simmering the Sofrito really makes a difference, but next time I’ll use fresh tomatoes instead of canned, as I think it would really benefit from fresh.\r\n\r\nChanges I made - I used arborio rice because that’s all I had. It was fine, but it needed less liquid than called for. I also upped the veg from three to four cups, and that was the perfect amount. I used a mix of zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper. I also dotted the top with butter before putting it in the oven and that cave the top a nice bit of crust.\r\n\r\nChanges I’ll make next time - cut the liquid down rib 4 cups, and se fresh tomatoes in the Sofrito, and season with a touch more salt.\r\n\r\nDespite being a little time consuming, this was actually quite easy to make, and it is definitely going in my regular rotation. It’s a truly delicious way to get in your veg.",
