Oh maaaaa-aa-aan - THIS is an awesome recipe! Made it last night for dinner - definitely moves into the top 3 faves list! Couple'a switches - I kicked up the pepper to 1/2 tsp; made the bell pepper 1 red and 1 orange; made the onion a red one and shook in some really good curry powder and fresh dill. Served it over brown rice and couldn't believe how good this was! Thanks for posting this to RZ!

I love that it was easy and used ingredients I typically have on hand. For me it seemed to lack something as I found the flavour kind of bland. We tried topping it with southwest flavoured cheese and that actually did improve it. Maybe a jalapeño or two? I don't know. I was a little disappointed. I may try it again with some tweaking for my tastes because I do like the idea of this dish.

Holy cow, this was good! I needed a recipe that relied heavily on pantry ingredients rather than fresh produce (just got home from vacation, hadn't been to the grocery store yet) so I decided to make this. I upped the garlic to 6 cloves because my husband and I love garlic. I didn't have an onion so I used a shallot that I found in the bottom of my fridge. Didn't have a bell pepper so left that out. I used canned tomatoes. I stirred some lime juice in at the end of the cooking time to brighten the flavors a bit. Mmmm! This will now be my go-to recipe for the day we return from vacation and have nothing in the house. So easy, too! Start the rice, go sit down for half an hour with a book and a cocktail, spend 5 minutes putting this together, sit back down with book and cocktail, wait 20 minutes and voila!
