This dish was surprisingly delicious. I usually don't enjoy brown rice, but it complemented the recipe nicely. I made a small alteration to the cooking process, as per my husband's preference. He likes bell peppers to retain some crunch, so I added them in the last 10 minutes of cooking, and it worked out perfectly for him.
