Because I wanted to retain the color of the peppers (I used both green and red) I sautéed them with the onion and garlic, then set them aside. I cooked the rice separately, toasting the rice in the pan with a little butter before adding the water and a bit of salt, then simmered for 15-20 minutes until the rice was tender and the water absorbed. I folded in the sautéed vegetables at the end. Quiet, understated flavor, just ride side dish for the seafood I served with it.
It was delicious! I did change the bell pepper for green Chile instead and the kick it has is perfect!
Green Pepper Rice Haiku: "Nice change from plain rice! Didn't change one single thing 'cept changed the servings." Dropped rice to 1/2 c. and reduced the servings/ingredient ratio accordingly. We enjoyed it alongside AR's "Tender Italian Baked Chicken" and a salad a tasty way to add some color and flavor to plain rice!
I thought I had green pepper when I set out to make this but I only had red and orange! So I made this with red pepper instead and used green onions to have something green in there. Tasty and a nice way to use up peppers.:)
So good! Perfect for my fish dinner.
I am always looking for interesting rice recipes but this isn't it. Easy enough to make but just wasn't crazy about the flavors. I like green peppers but somehow they just didn't thrill me in this recipe. Felt like it needed just a little something else
This dish was awesome and I made no changes. Everyone enjoyed eating and gave the dish a thumbs up. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again. Thank you.
I love this recipe but i did make some small changes i put green onions and lnor chicken owder for more taste my family loved it thank you??
This was extremely simple to make and my family enjoyed it. I used both green and orange pepper in the rice to make it more colorful. Please note that the recipe calls for converted rice not regular- that makes a difference in cooking it and you want the best results. For my own personal tastes I would like to add a little more flavor either via herbs or spices but it went over well with all who ate it. Very simple to prepare.
