    I actually cherry-picked your Red Pepper Sauce and served it over a boneless, skinless, chicken breast - stuffed with chopped spinach and non-fat ricotta. My family loves the sauce. I will be making your whole dish next. - 3/6/09

    Why is the flounder simmered? Wouldn't broiling be better? I'm guessing the idea is to do a pseudo-poaching of the fish; but poaching is very bland unless done with herbs and garlic. So I'm wondering why you would simmer a VERY bland fish to begin with. - 8/15/08

    This sounds great, and I would think we could use it for other types of fish, chicken, etc. I might use green chiles instead of cayenne pepper - I like the flavor better. And I will use the instant brown rice. - 8/15/08
