Ingredients

  • 1 large leek, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise

  • 1 lb. butternut or acorn squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
  • 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups Valencia or Basmati rice (or regular long-grain rice)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Brush the leek with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and place cut side down on one side of a non-stick baking sheet. On the other side of the baking sheet, add squash and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and gently toss to coat. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Slice the leek halves into 1-inch lengths.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 16" paella pan or skillet and sauté onion over medium heat until softened. Add saffron and cayenne pepper and stir for 1 minute. Add the rice and season with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring for about 2-3 minutes. Add chicken stock, wine, squash, tomatoes, artichoke hearts and Swiss chard, stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
