Artichoke Crab Paella

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups white arborio or pearl rice
2 cups chopped red onions
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup dry white wine
1 quart fat-skimmed chicken broth
2 jars (6 oz. each) marinated artichokes
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Recipe Instructions
1. In an ovenproof 14-inch-wide, 2- to 3-inch-deep frying pan (or 5- to 6-quart pan) over medium heat, frequently stir oil and rice until rice is opaque, about 5 minutes.
2. Add onions, bell pepper, and garlic; stir often until onions are limp, 5 to 8 minutes.

3. Add wine, broth, and artichokes with marinade. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.

4. Cover tightly with lid or foil and bake in a 350° oven until liquid is absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
