Notes: Can use less onion and more sweet pepper to taste. Any colour of pepper works. This makes a fairly large amount. Can be frozen before baking, although the fruit may become softer and the almonds chewy.
Reheats well in the microwave or oven.
This casserole usually is made with rice that is fairly dry with grains that do not stick together but Tony likes his rice stickier.
