I love the flavor in this dish. Growing up my Abuelita often would make paella and arroz con pollo so I wanted to be able to replicate those Spanish dishes but with less carbs to work with keto. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything because I find substitutions that work for me and my preferences. BONUS I get even more veggies in this version too! While this version uses turmeric, if you have access to saffron substitute one pinch for the turmeric. Turmeric is often referred to as the "poor man's" saffron as it is similar in flavor to saffron and gives the yellow coloring to your dish (but without the crazy price tag of saffron).
