What a tasty and easy recipe! I used yellow, orange and red peppers and they made the dish very colourful. The black bean sauce that I had on hand was very concentrated, so I added about 3/4 c of broth. As we all like garlic, I added more of that as well. Next time, I will try making it with mushrooms. Thank you for posting. I will certainly make it again! :)
