You can use regular long-grain white rice instead of the brown rice. Reduce the water to 1 1/3 cups and reduce the cooking time to 15 to 20 minutes.

Love this as a side dish with grilled pork. I make it really easy by buying the cut peppers from Trader Joes...they are frozen but do great in this dish.
