I didn't like the flavor of this dish. The tomatoes were too acidic and the bell peppers were too bland.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up just making a simple rice pilaf.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice was undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 10 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
