'Second Pepper' Spiced Rice

It is so nice to be home and in my own kitchen again!

Since I've been back from Taiwan, I've been hitting up the farmers market like a mad women to find raw veggies for stir-frys. One of my favorite vendors has huge tubs of super-cheap 'second peppers' (peppers that are in kind of rough shape but are still tasty), which I buy and put in everything.

One of our weekly favorites turns leftover rice and those less-than-perfect peppers into a tasty, cheap and filling main dish. Serve with vegan sour cream and cheese to make it extra special!
