  • Place the Herb/Spice Ingredients into a small bowl, mix to combine, set aside.
  • In a large ceramic/enamel-lined Dutch oven, skillet or similar stock pot, add the diced onions, carrots, squash and zucchini, sauté over medium heat until they are tender, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of water if they start to stick and/or to prevent burning.
  • Add the minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds, then add the Herb/Spice mix, sauté for 30 seconds, then add the cooked and refrigerated rice, and dry sauté for a few minutes. Then add all the remaining ingredients and sauté until everything is heated through. Serve with a generous drizzle of hot sauce and a tiny sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley.
