This was great!! I just loved the colors all mixed together. I added just a splash of lemon juice at the end for a little bite. Thanks! -
The green & the red are just made for each other :) Great blend of flavours and very easy to make. I cooked my broccoli in the microwave while cooking the peppers in a pan. Thanks for posting this 'keeper' :) -
This was a excellent recipe! It went very well with the Grilled Halibut recipe I made today. Very tasty and easy to make too. Thanks for sharing Carla! -
Easy and the colors really pop at the table. I added some garlic to the peppers for a bit more flavor. I started the broccoli water when I put the peppers on and the timing worked well. -
Excellent! The broccoli and peppers complemented each other very well. The only adjustment I made was to put the water on to boil after I started the peppers. That made the broccoli and the peppers finish up at about the same time, so the broccoli wouldn't get cold! :) Pair with a nice steak and there's dinner!
