Introduction

Basically I took random things I had in the fridge and pantry and made this. But it turned out really yummy!

I served this with 1 cup dry brown rice simmered with 1.5 cups water and .5 cup "juice" from a can of diced tomatoes (holding back chunks). I then added a cup of the diced tomatoes after simmering the rice for 40 minutes and added salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, granulated garlic and Pampered chef southwest seasoning.
