    My husband and I both liked this dish. I'm vegan and he eats several meat free meals a week. Recipe needs to be proofread. Directions state cooking red pepper with the onion and jalapeno, but it's not listed in the ingredients so I didn't get any when I was at the store. Still fine without it. - 10/31/10
