This recipe was delicious! I used green pepper instead of red, and I added a whole onion to the pot for 4 servings. I added two extra cloves of garlic, as well. Other than that, I followed the directions step by step; and wow! -- wonderful recipe. Next time I might add some roughly chopped peanuts, but you certainly don't need them. I found the recipe quite satisfying texture-wise without them. Perfect for vegans. Thanks so much.

This is my husbands favorite dish that I make, and I have lots of food allergies so we're a bit limited. The recipe itself is easy to follow and has turned out well every time I've made it. I love the aromas of this dish while cooking it. Tonight we had it with Quinoa - a very light grain, and a perfect companion. I subbed almond butter for the peanut butter because of my Food Allergies, tonight I also subbed white beans for black which was a nice change, though it's wonderful either way.

Cooking should be easy and fun, in my opinion! And it's not only what you eat, but how you eat it . . . a peaceful meal eaten with a sense of gratitude will do wonders for the digestion. I cook for my family and we enjoy mainly organic, vegetarian dishes.
