Risotto Stuffed Peppers

Had a ladies night last night and my girlfriends are hard to please! One is a vegetarian, an other can't eat gluten, and the other two are just kinda picky sometimes! I some how managed to please everybody! I used this recipe as a starting point. I've only ever made one other type of stuffed pepper that I liked, but this one was very good as well!

Instead of using water to cook the arborio rice, I used chicken broth and a splash of wine. (The vegetarian didn't end up coming for dinner). This gave the rice a nice flavour. I was chatting while cooking, so i'm not completely sure about timing, but I think the rice took 5-10 minutes less then it said it would.

I used butter to fry up the ingredients instead of oil. I also added garlic, mushrooms, and spinach. I didn't have any 'italian seasoning' so i just mixed up some thyme, oregano and basil.  I also used orange, yellow and red peppers instead of green... because green are yucky. Just kidding, they're fine. But I don't like them as much.

Sided it with some baked chicken for all the non-veggies.
