  1. This is NOT vegetarian as it contains chicken broth. to be vegetarian, you would need to replace the chicken stock with either water, or some kind of vegetarian alternative such as vegetable broth.
     
  2. Very very good! Only difference Id make is a little trick I learned from my great grandmother. Simmer the hollowed cut side in a little bit of water for a few minutes in a frying pan to cut back on the strong flavour of the bell peppers. Its usually too strong for me and with there being no meat in them itll help balance out the flavors. :)
     
  3. For those of you that say it's not vegetarian, please look at the second ingredient, VEGETABLE BROTH is the second ingredient!
     
  4. This recipe name needs to have "vegetarian" removed, and the one who created it needs to learn what is actually vegetarian. :)
     
  5. Not vegetarian. Contains chicken broth.

  1. We just made a more vegetarian-friendly version of these using 1) vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, 2) half the rice, 3) 1 can of drained great northern beans, and 4 ) no pesto (OK, that's just because I do not like pesto). They were wonderful! Thank you for the recipe.

I love in Ontario Canada,where the winters are cold and the summers are even colder. I grew up in an italian family,always cooking and ALWAYS eating.Watching my grandmother and mother cook has allowed me to become the great chef i am today.My mother,my sister(soupcookie)and myself are huge food critics,were always trying new foods and new recipes.It has almost become a competitive thing between the 3 of us,and were never afraid to voice our taste opinions.
