Pesto Rice Peppers image

I like to use red, orange and yellow - sweet peppers for colour. Great as a side dish to chicken, turkey, lamb or pork, or as a meatless main dish. I blanche my peppers for 5 min.in boiling water as I prefer the peppers to be softer. This recipe from Foodland does not call for this.

I'm not sure why, but my dish turned out really soupy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out well. The rice was mushy and the pesto was bland.

The rice was a bit undercooked for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
