  1. WAAAAY too spicy! It's my fault - I should have used some common sense when preparing this recipe, but I just followed it exactly. As much as I WANTED to be able to eat them - and wanted my guest to be able to eat them - they were entirely too spicy. I'm not a spice wimp either! There was an underlying delicious flavor, but it just wasn't worth the mouth-flaming spicy hotness! Could be a delightful recipe if you're careful to tone the use of cayenne and white pepper WAAAAAY down.
     
  2. Now wait a minute. Anyone could see it was going to be spicy but really was a great recipe. I reduced the salt by half, subtitled a cup of quinoa and one cup of rice and one cup of my home made chunky tomato sauce. It was fabulous!, I will try do again.
     
  3. This recipe is a total failure. I had to have my granddaughter read the recipe to make sure I was reading it correctly. I was! I had reservations about the recipe; waaay to much cayenne, and chili powder so I drastically reduced them. No par boiling of the peppers. But I thought it must be right. Shame on me for moving forward with the recipe! Another example of: trust your gut feeling. What a first-impression of a site!<br/> <br/>of using anything else
