  2. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 bell pepper, chopped. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add 1 medium zucchini, diced, and cook until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes.

  7. Reduce heat to low, stir in 1 pound littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed, and 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives.
  8. Cook until clams open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
