Use Arborio rice with round grains from northern Italy, known for absorbing flavors well.
Chop the onion, red and yellow bell peppers, and zucchini into evenly sized pieces similar to the onion.
Sprinkle some thyme into a large pan to infuse its aroma into the oil.
Add the sweeter onion first, followed immediately by the bell peppers.
Add the zucchini later since it is soft and you don't want it to overcook.
Gently sauté all the vegetables over low heat without browning them, about 10 minutes, adding salt to help release their moisture.
Add the rice in portions—one handful per person—stirring for 2-3 minutes until it warms and remains al dente.
Pour in the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate, leaving behind the flavor.
Gradually add vegetable broth with a ladle, waiting each time for the rice to fully absorb the liquid before adding more.
Add the zucchini pieces while the rice is cooking.
