I like risottos and paellas, I found this a very good vegetarian one. I wasn't quite sure what summer squash was, so I used butternut, which I always find goes well in this kind of dish. I used the greens, and added sliced zucchini .. more squash, and more green :) The honey and tabasco, so unusual, so delicious, really makes this dish! We dont get a saffron rice mixture here (or not that I've found), so I simply used normal rice and added some saffron threads. I also used vegetarian stock rather than chicken broth. I found this dish to be packed with flavour and pleasing to the eye, we had it as a main meal and it easily makes 4 main servings. Lovely recipe, thanks docholliday, made for PAC Spring 2012
