Meanwhile, bring stock and saffron to boil. Add raisins, beets, carrots, rice and stir; return to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 18 minutes. Rice should be golden in color and very fluffy.

In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, vinegar, hot sauce, sugar, onion powder, paprika, coriander, celery salt, pepper and EVOO. Add squash, rice, oranges, onions, sweet and hot peppers.
