Preparation Method

Bring stock to a simmer in a small sauce pot.
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add carrots, zucchini, and squash and sauté for 1-2 minutes until beginning to soften.
Stir in rice and continue cooking over medium heat until rice is lightly toasted, another 1-2 minutes.
Add the hot stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 25 minutes, then remove the pan and rest 5 minutes.
Mix gremolata ingredients in a small bowl, then mix into rice with a fork to fluff the grains without mashing them.
Season to taste with salt and pepper as needed.
