Vegetable Paella (v)

Well not really paella I guess if you're a purist, but certainly a tasty rice and vegetable dish which Lex scoffs down!

For 4 portions you need:
200g white rice (I used a mix of long grain and basmati)
800ml vegetable stock
100ml white wine (I used cava)
salt and pepper
1 large onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 small leeks, finely sliced
1 can sweetcorn, drained
2 carrots, finely diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 lemon, quartered
pinch saffron
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil

Begin by sauteeing the carrots, onion and leeks in the oil. After about 10 mins add the paprika and rice and coat in the oil. Add the wine and garlic and reduce the wine till it's all bubbled away. Add the saffron to the stock and then add this to the pan. Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 20 mins until the rice is cooked. About 10 mins before the end of the cooking time, add the remaining veggies and season well. Serve garnished with tomatoes and lemon.
