3 tablespoon olive oil 1 each large onion, chopped 1 each large fennel bulb, chopped (sometimes fennel is not available, so I used about 2 - 3 teaspoons of fennel seeds) 5 each large cloves garlic, minced 2 cups Arborio rice 1 each x 14 1/2 oz. can vegetable broth 1 each x 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes, undrained 1 cup dry vermouth (I've left this out before and the flavor was just fine) 2 teaspoon dried thyme 0.5 teaspoon saffron threads or 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron 0.25 teaspoon cayenne 1 each x 14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained, cut through hearts into 1/2" wedges (I used the marinated artichokes in the oil and drai 1 each large yellow or red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1" chunks 1 each x 10 oz. package frozen sugar snap peas or 1 1/2 cups frozen peas (I use fresh snow pea pods or sugar snap when available) 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (If fresh isn't available I use dried) |

| Directions: | ||
| (I also add more vegetables when possible, like a few fresh chopped mushrooms, some corn, more than the recommended bell peppers, etc.) Heat oil in Dutch oven (I don't know what a Dutch oven is, so I just use a large soup/chilli pot) over medium heat. Add onion, fennel and garlic, cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in rice, cook 1 minute. Add broth, tomatoes, vermouth, thyme, saffron and cayenne, bring to a boil. Stir in artichocke hearts and bell pepper; return to boil. Cover, simmer over low heat 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in sugar snap peas or peas; cover and continue to simmer 2 minutes. If you're using fresh veggies and you want them cooked a little more, just add them to the pot earlier. Simmer until remaining liquid is absorbed. Garnish with cilantro (if I used the dried, I already added it) and fronds from fresh fennel bulb. This can be reheated, just add more broth or water when doing so. |
