Ingredients

  • piece onion, finely chopped
  • cup water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • piece red bell pepper, diced or sliced thinly
  • cup tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and puréed
  • piece sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water until tender and then puréed

  • cup medium-grain rice
  • teaspoon saffron
  • pinch paprika
  • piece vegetable bouillon (optional)
  • cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in ¼ cup vegetable broth for about 7 minutes or until translucent. Add the bell pepper and sauté for 7 minutes more or until soft.
  2. Add the tomatoes, the sun-dried tomatoes, and the garlic, and sauté until most of the liquid is gone.
  3. Add the rice, the saffron, and the paprika, and coat the rice. Add 3 cups of boiling vegetable broth or 3 cups of water with the vegetable bouillon. Stir. Add the artichokes and the green beans. Stir and bring to a boil.
  4. Once the mixture is boiling, count exactly 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the pan be. Do not stir; just shake the pan to help even out the contents, then cover with a clean dish towel and let set for 5-8 minutes.

    Note: You can substitute any vegetables you like for the green beans and artichokes, such as peas, mushrooms, eggplant, etc.
