Expert Tips

Substitution: Try using orange or yellow bell peppers instead. Red, orange or yellow peppers are sweeter than green bell peppers and can be used interchangeably.
Recipe Variation: Portabella Confetti Brown Rice -- If you like the earthy flavour and meaty texture of baby portabella mushrooms, use then in place of the regular white mushrooms.
