Ingredients
2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
1small dried red chile pepper, such as chile de arbol, broken
1medium onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2clovesgarlic, minced
2large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1medium zucchini, diced
1red bell pepper, diced
1green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1teaspoonpaprika, preferably Spanish
1teaspoondried thyme
½teaspoonsalt
⅛teaspoonfreshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups short-grain white rice, preferably Valencia (see Tip)
3 cups vegetable broth, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
6 lemon wedges, for garnish
DirectionsHeat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chile pepper, onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft but not browned, about 6 minutes.Add tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.Add rice; stir to coat well with the tomato mixture. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot directly from the pan, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.TipsTip: Valencia rice (sometimes called paella rice) is Spanish-grown, short-grain rice classically used when making paella. It differs from other short-grain rice because of its ability to absorb moisture without breaking down. When fully cooked, the individual grains of rice remain whole. ‘Bomba' is the best variety. Find it in specialty markets or online at tienda.com. Arborio rice can be used as a substitute, but yields a creamier dish.Originally appeared: EatingWell Magazine, September/October 2007

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
