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 was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more seasonings next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

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.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought pesto sauce and it still tasted delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of pesto, but this dish changed my mind. The combination of the pesto, rice, and peppers was perfect. I loved the addition of the goat cheese, which added a nice tang.
