Heat paella pan over medium heat.
Cook sausage, set aside.
In that same pan with the juices from the sausage, still over medium heat, carefully add 2 tablespoons of water to the hot pan. Next, add the onion and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Next add the carrots, combine, and cook down for 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the tomatoes, spices, and garlic. Combine and cook down for 2-3 minutes. Season with Salt and pepper.
Next add the rice. Combine and cook for one minute.
Next add 3 cups of the broth, the herbs, peas, and green beans. Also now is a good time to add the bay leaf* if you so choose. Bring to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. *Carefully remove the bay leaf after 2 minutes. (This is to avoid leaving it in for too long as the flavor from the can be overbearing.)
Add the artichoke and let cook for another 10 minutes, resisting the urge to stir, rather giving the pan a little shake if needed to prevent the bottom bits from burning. The end goal is to have a beautifully browned crispy layer on the bottom.
Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let steam for 10 minutes.
To be served in the same shallow pan it was cooked in, garnished with some lemon wedges, and maybe some additional fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
