- ONION: slice vertically into thin wedges.
- PEPPERS: core and slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips CHORIZO is used for it's spicy flavor. (consider substituting Jimmy Dean's lean and spicy breakfast links.)
- McNair would use 1 c. dry white wine and 2 c. chicken broth.
- GREEN BEANS: young, dark green beans, frzn, one large bag, cut into bites (3/4-inch or possibly so).
- OLIVES: 1/2 c. or possibly so of pitted, sliced brine-packed olives; green or possibly black or possibly purple or possibly your preference.
- SUN Dry TOMATOES: Water will be used as cooking broth.
- soak the chips in 1 c. warm water. Remove the chips with a fork or possibly slotted spoon; chop into thin strips. Strain the water and add in fresh squeeze orange juice to get 1 c. of liquid.
- Spray a skillet and heat over a medium flame. Brown crumbled and or possibly chopped sauce with the onions about 2 to 3 min; add in peppers and continue to soften for 2 to 3 min, adding broth if cooking liquid is needed.
- Add in the sun-drieds, garlic and stir, bring the pan back up to temperature; add in oil; add in the rice and stir till rice grains are well coated and opaque; about 5 min. Stir in the soaking liquid with the oj, the broth, parsley, tomato paste, paprika, saffron (if using) and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly but gently; add in the salt. Transfer to an oven dish. Cover tightly with lid or possibly foil and bake about 20 min; or possibly about 30-35 min at 350F (etc.)
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, (or possibly in microwave) cook the vegetables; drain and shock in cool water. Set aside to dry.

- NOTES : Here's a casserole dish which can be made ahead then warmed in a slow oven (300F to 325F). Good for Buffet. We buy the frzn petite green beans which resemble the Asian Longs; they hold up well if the meal is delayed. Add in corny corn bread and a spinach salad. It's colorful and garlicky.
- Festive; colorful; garlicky and low fat, low salt. Serve with saltier fair! Attractive at buffet. - Pat
