SeeFood Paella

2 servings

This tasty "SeeFood" Paella was born out of necessity. After a long day of travel we were both tired and hungry and in need of a warm, comforting meal that could be whipped up in under an hour. We had a mishmash of leftover ingredients from previous meals during the week; artichoke hearts from a pizza, some remaining peas in the freezer - you name it, it went in! From pantry remnants rose this delicious dish, that was both simple to toss together and a great way to avoid food waste. Every meal I create follows this approach. Packing for an extended road-trip is always a gamble, leading to an overpacked kitchen on wheels. The challenge? Embrace the chaos, get inventive, and craft your own flavorful masterpiece. Trust me, it will be a campfire legend, a memory etched in the family cookbook for miles to come!
