I stumbled onto a sale on peppers so tagged this recipe to make in the Asian Tag Game. I made a triple batch of this spicy gem (cooked on the stovetop instead of the mircowave). It was easy to make, wonderfully spicy hot, and goes with everything. I poured some over cream cheese and served for a holiday appetizer. Yum! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This is SOOOO good! I added in one more small jalapeno pepper (we like extreme heat!) and also incresed the fresh garlic slightly. If you love spicy you will love this, you won't be able to keep your spoon out of it, it is THAT good! Sharon, thanks so much for sharing this great recipe, I look forward to making this again soon...Kitten:)
