Kathie's Notes:

I love saffron. This vegetable paella is tasty and filling. You won't miss the meat. Its also healthy, low in fat. I found this recipe in a local newspaper article about using local garden vegetables in unusual dishes several years ago.

If you prefer you can add some cooked chopped chicken to make this a meat main dish. Or add some tofu to up the protein count.

 

Directions

1
Heat to boiling 1 inch of water in a large skillet. Add asparagus and broccoli and boil for 4 minutes or until tender crisp. Drain. Set aside briefly.
2
Heat olive oil in same skillet. Cook asparagus, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, salt, and saffron in oil, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until onion is tender crisp.

Stir in remaining ingredients and heat all. Pour onto serving plate and serve immediately.

Vegetables should be hot, fresh, and crisp not limp and over-cooked.
