The recipe calls for a medium bell pepper, could I sub a pablano instead???
Thanks for your help
 
You made me hungry.
Bell pepper adds a distinctive flavor to the beans, and is part of the "trinity" used by Cajun and Creole cooks. A hotter pepper wouldn't hurt either. I usually use Anaheim peppers and jalapeno peppers in my red beans and rice.
 
Absolutely. You can even omit it and it wouldn't screw up beans and rice. Put whatever you want in it!
 
I see many have already got here before me with good answers . Don't however leave out pepper , it's red beans and rice .
A poblano will be fine , any nice green pepper will do . I prefer the hot ones myself . I just remove the seeds so it only has a spicy bite and does not just burn everyone . LOL Even my son will eat it then .
