This is wonderful! Spicy and interesting with the humblest of ingredients. One thing, no amount of water was recorded in the ingredients list so I just guessed and used one cup of homemade stock. I think by looking at the amount it was to have made, I should have used at least 2 cups. ??? Delicious. - 6/7/11
