Confetti Rice

Submitted by mikaylahh

"The bright colours of the peppers add a festive flair to this sweet rice. The flavour of cumin is a nice complement to this Mexican dish. This recipe is from the "Company's Coming - Weekend Cooking" cookbook."

Easy, colorful, and made a nice side with enchiladas. I will make again as I liked the smoky & developed flavors and the family enjoyed a tomato free selection. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
