I tried this recipe on last night and it wasn't that good to me. Since everyone else on this site liked it, I guess the problem was with me. It looked good, but was bland to me. Probably won't try it again. Thanks anyway.

This was easy to prepare and when added to brown rice, made for a great meal with an awesome flavor. It was just spicy enough to add some heat, but not enough to melt your mouth...
