“The flavors are wonderful! I went easy on the crushed red pepper but it still had a slight bite to it, but even so it is delicious! It seemed like a lot of steps but was still pretty easy to prepare. This is definitely a dish to make again.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Everyone loved it! And I have some very picky older kids. ☺️ It’s a regular recipe for us now. I don’t use zucchini though, just the peppers and green onions. My son has ulcerative colitis and zucchini doesn’t agree with him. ” — a cook, 5.0★
