Cajun Bell Peppers with Dirty Rice & Parsley Oil

Dirty rice gets a pop of color (and flavor!) from the vibrant peppers and verdant parsley oil in this dish. Alongside a glass of California rosé or Sauvignon Blanc you have a simple late-summer meal. Serve with toasted crusty bread and extra parsley oil for drizzling at the table.
