Arros brut – a vegan recipe

Arros brut – a vegan recipe
Reading Time: 2 minutes

This is my vegan recipe for arros brut (dirty rice), my favourite traditional recipe from Mallorca. No animal products and all of the flavour!

  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • coconut oil
  • 2 onions finely chopped
  • 1 tomato tin (see BONUS TIPS)
  • mushrooms, sliced
  • cooked artichokes, diced
  • sweet peas
  • green beans, sliced
  • carrots, diced
  • two handfuls of round rice (like the risotto type)
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • saffron (see BONUS TIPS)
  • salt and pepper
  1. In a big pot heat up the coconut oil and cook the onions with some salt on medium heat until they become see-through, not golden.
  2. Add the tomato tin to the onions and lower the heat.
  3. Once the tomato starts slowly bubbling, add the stock and reduce 1/3.
  4. At this point add the green beans and carrots, and cook on medium for 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the sweet peas and cook for another 5 minutes, then finally add the mushrooms and the rice.
  6. Throw in the spices and cook for about 15 minutes.
  7. When the rice is done but still has a bit of a bite, it’s ready. Check to see if it needs more salt, and you’re done!

BONUS TIPS:

  • A bit of fresh lemon juice gives it – in my opinion – the perfect touch.
  • Under no circumstances should you use long rice such as basmati for this dish. It is a blasphemy – blasphemy, I say! – against my culture and it will also not turn out well. Go for a round grain like the risotto rice type. You have been warned.
  • Instead of a tomato tin, you can get a few fresh tomatoes and grate them. Yes, I said grate them. Obviously do not grate your fingers, stop before you grate the peel.
  • If you can’t get your hands on saffron for whatever reason (unavailability, price…), you can swap this for 1tsp turmeric.
  • This is a soupy kind of dish, so it should not end up looking like a risotto. Don’t dry out all of the stock!
  • I sometimes substitute the cinnamon for 1 drop of cinnamon bark therapeutic grade essential oil (this is the brand I use).
