"Here's an all-vegetable version of Spain's traditional rice dish, paella. Italian Arborio rice is similar to the starchy medium-grain rice customarily used in Spain. Substitute a Spanish variety if you can find it. If you like, dress up this dish with more vegetables: green beans, peas, summer squash, or eggplant."
