This was really good. I used walnuts instead of the pine nuts and I used 90 second brown rice

We loved this rice! I think next time I cook it I will add garlic. We are just that kind of people! heh heh I cooked the rice in my rice cooker and then added the sauteed vegetables. Thank you for posting this for us!

Excellent!! Did not have yellow peppers, only red. I will definitely make this again. Rarely do I rave about a simple rice dish, but this was VERY good. I did add 1/2 vegetable boullion cube when I cooked the rice. Thanks for posting blondie!

This was good. I added some diced onions with the vegies. I think a splash of lemon juice would be great in this too!
