Garlic Vegetable Rice Medley image

I keep an herb garden and plant several seasonal vegetables each spring. I can't wait until the farmer's market opens each summer so I can see what tasty squash, beans and greens the real farmers are offering up. Then I can head home and make this recipe.-Andy Anderson, Graham, Washington

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better if it used less red pepper flakes.

The vegetables were a little undercooked for my taste. I think they needed to be cooked for a few more minutes.

The rice was a little mushy for my preference. I think it would be better if it was cooked for a little less time.
