Tasty Spicy Rice Pilaf

Great, easy side dish! I used half a red bell pepper - minced, vs a roasted red pepper and had to omit the mushrooms since I didn’t have any of either. 2 tsp of red pepper flakes is a LOT. Adjust this seasoning accordingly to you/your family’s heat tolerances. I used 1.5 tsp and thought was awesome but borderline too hot for us. Glad we used 1.5 tsp (and the recipe title does say “spicy”) but 2 tsp may have been too much? Served with a stuffed chicken breast recipe from this site and this complimented well. Not to mention- so easy!! I would make again and often! Thanks Luv2Cook!

This was a nice side dish to our dinner of: 'Southwestern Egg Rolls' and 'Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce' both from AR. I did omit the mushrooms, due to personal taste, but kept everything else the same. My guys are huge rice eaters and they both really liked the dish. The next time I would like to try this with long grain rice as opposed to the instant rice.

Loved it! I used the crushed pepper flakes to taste b/c I didn't want it to be too spicy. Really nice flavor and super simple to make. I will def be making this again! Thanks for sharing. :)

Deeeeeelicious! Eating it as I type. I used red onion because I had one huge yellow and three small red. The only thing I will change next time is less stock. I also added some fresh parsley from my garden for the pic. LOVE the mushrooms in it!!

This rice recipe was a wonderful change from plain rice. I used my food processor to chop up the veggies so this was easy to prepare. I liked the flavor the chicken stock gave the rice and of course adding mushrooms always makes rice taste better.
