DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 450° F.
2. Place olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until onion is slightly softened and garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the vegetables, season with 1/2 tsp of kosher salt, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, just until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until rice has been coated with the oil and is beginning to turn a light golden color.
4. Add the saffron, smoked paprika, drained artichoke hearts, olives, vegetable stock and remaining 1 tsp of kosher salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Stir well and cover the pan with a lid.
5. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
