Quick Vegetarian Paella
Despite the length of its ingredient list, this recipe still yields a splendid meal in about 30 minutes. Complete the menu with steamed green beans, and packaged mixed baby greens tossed with bottled orange sections and toasted almond slices.
2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil reduce this amount
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups (1-inch) chopped green bell pepper
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups uncooked quick-cooking brown rice
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium vegetable broth (such as Swanson Certified Organic)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed, or ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups chopped tomato
1 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)
Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in rice and next 4 ingredients (through thyme); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
