- 1 Zucchini - Cut into 1 inch half moons
- 1/2 lb Mushrooms - Chopped

- 1 Cup White Wine
- 1/4 Cup Homemade Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Bomba or Arborio Rice
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth, 33% Less Sodium - Can Substitute with Vegetable Broth
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 4 Sprigs Oregano - Leaves
- 4 Sprigs Thyme - Leaves
- Pinch of Saffron strands
- 1 Tbl Spanish Spice Rub
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley - Leaves chopped. Plus additional for garnish
- 1 Cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts - Sliced
- 1 Lemon - Sliced for garnish
Preparation
Step 1:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers. Saute until they are soft; then add the zucchini, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the vegetables have released their water. Add the white wine and tomato sauce and simmer until liquid has reduced by half. Add chicken broth, rice, herbs, Spanish spice rub, and parsley. Cover the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Taste the rice and check whether the rice is cooked. If the rice needs more time, add more broth and cover.
Step 2:
Once the rice is cooked, remove the cover and simmer until all of the liquid has been evaporated off. You can optionally cook it for a little longer to achieve the saccarat on the bottom of the pan. Place the artichoke hearts on top and garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley.

Additional Notes
It is strange to see a jalapeno pepper in a Spanish dish. In our opinion, the jalapeno pepper gives more flavor to the rice while not overpowering the dish when de-seeded. The extra flavor is really needed when no salt is added. However, if the flavor of the jalapeno doesn't work for you, just omit it.
