Made half the recipe and served over rice. More than enough for the two of us. Used red pepper as didn't have pimentos in the pantry. Will make again scaling it back further in size. Really liked the combination of ingredients. Thanks to you and your dad for a recipe I will enjoy playing with to suit two seniors.
