Sorry, but didn't care too much for this. It was okay, but as written has too much spice. I'm not talking about heat, but I feel like I'm just eating spices with a few other things thrown in...too overpowering. I used a can of tomatoes and used the paste; left out the salt. Would cut down the spices if I made again, but probably won't. Sorry!

This was very good. I took a picture and then my memory card went kaput so I will have to take one next time! I did double the garlic, put in two tablespoons of chili powder and skipped the cayenne altogether as I just wasn't in the mood for my mouth to burn. I skipped the salt (I always do), used tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes. I also added some corn for additional colour and texture. This is a nice and simple meatless dish that we will be having again. Thanks for posting!
