- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas

- 1 large lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Set aside.
In a large skillet or paella pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, turmeric, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onion and pepper mixture.
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat the grains with the spice and vegetable mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, add the bay leaf, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, add the crumbled nori sheets, chickpeas, artichokes, hearts of palm, and peas to the rice mixture. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Cover the skillet again and allow to cook for another 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Vegan Arroz con Mariscos with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
