Tips & Techniques

  • Be Bold with Broccoli

    Vegetables like broccoli offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C and folate. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.

  • Did You Know...

    A traditional paella flavoring (and expensive spice), saffron is the hand-picked stigma from a tiny purple crocus flower. It takes more than 14,000 of these little threads to produce one ounce of saffron!

  • Substitution

    Turmeric does the trick as a saffron substitute because it's moderately priced and generally available in most supermarkets. Both spices are pungent, aromatic and used to add flavor and color to foods.

Ingredients

  • 1  pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3  cups broccoli flowerets
  • 2  teaspoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1  medium red bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2  small zucchini, chopped (1 1/4 cups)
  • 1  medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 4  cups cooked brown or regular long-grain rice
  • 3/4  teaspoon salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon saffron threads or 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2  large tomatoes, seeded and chopped (2 cups)
  • 2  cans (15 oz each) Progresso® chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
  • 1  box (9 oz) Green Giant Select® frozen baby sweet peas, thawed

Directions

  1. 1Cook asparagus and broccoli in enough boiling water to cover in 2-quart saucepan about 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
  2. 2Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook asparagus, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini and onion in oil about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is crisp-tender.
  3. 3Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot.
