First, let me say this was terrific without any tweaks--thank you! But, as an inveterate tweaker, I have tried some of the suggestions made here: Second time I added chopped onion and diced tomatoes--though next time I may drain the latter! As my own experiment, I added some Chili pepper (2T), cumin (0.5 t) and white pepper (0.5 t)--very nice this way, too! I am eager to try the suggestions of jalapenos (love 'em) and the maple syrup. Gonna see and will update!

Julienne'd the pepper. Added, quarter of an onion finely diced, 2 tbsp of Soy sauce and 1.5 tsp of lemon juice, didn't add the salt (because of the soy sauce). Came up really nice.

This was wonderful. My BF added some maple syrup as well, which added a nice flavor to it. I ate it cold as leftovers the next day. Delicious!
