Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook saffron rice according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow squash. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and basil. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine with Rice

    Once vegetables are cooked, mix them with the prepared saffron rice in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top of the vegetable and rice mixture. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
