Had this today and it is very, very good. I originally found this recipe when I had run a search for coconut oil which I needed to use. I think this is really good. The changes I made were mostly just that I had tomatoes but no bell peppers so switched those out, I had no sunflower seeds and added cut up precooked beef. Really great taste, the one thing is that this is super rich, so be ready for that! Thanks for the great idea, **Sunday**, this is one to expand on!
