2 tablespoon Taste#5 Bomba! XXX Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon Taste#5 Original Umami Bomb Paste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups rice, preferably medium-grain such as arborio
3 cups stock (vegetable or chicken)

METHOD
Pour oil in to a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add tomato, pimientos, and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the pastes, salt, turmeric, and rice. Add the chicken broth, water, and parsley and turn heat up to high until it comes to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and continue to cook for 7 - 10 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
Add the green beans, peas, artichokes, black olives and beans. Reduce to low heat, cover, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
