This delicious rice recipe is great on its own, but I love to use it as a filling for stuffed peppers. You can use green, red, yellow, or orange bell peppers – the sweeter ones provide the best flavor contrast to the spicy and savory rice. The recipe comes from my wellness coordinator, Gayle Lange.…
