1/4 tsp. saffron threads, crushed

1/4 cup olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup red bell pepper, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

1 1/2 cups short-grain rice, such as Valencia or Arborio

3 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 tsp. tomato paste

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. paprika

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 cup fresh or frozen green peas

1/2 cup fresh or frozen green beans

1/2 cup fresh asparagus tips

1 medium-size ripe tomato, coarsely chopped

3/4 artichoke hearts, quartered

Directions

Preparation: In small cup, mix saffron threads with 1 tbsp. water and set aside. In large skillet or wide-bottom stockpot, heat olive oil. Add onion, garlic, and red and green bell peppers. Sauté 2 minutes. Stir in rice and sauté another minute or until rice grains are well coated in oil. Add water and bring to boil over high heat, then immediately reduce heat to medium. Stir in saffron-and-water mixture, tomato paste, salt, paprika, black pepper, and oregano, followed by peas, beans, asparagus tips, and tomato. Cover and cook over medium heat 15 minutes. Stir in artichoke hearts and set heat to low-medium. Cover and cook another 15 minutes or until rice grains are fluffy.
