Ok, so I made it... and it's great!!! I used more lime juice and more bell pepper than req and I also used butter beans instead of chickpeas cause I couldn't find them here (and I wasn't gonna go hunt for them).... I put half in the freezer so I don't become a pig and eat it all.... I cleaned everything up, and then realized I never even put the garlic in, lol.... still good. Recipe is definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteOh, and to go with it, I made, Emeril's pita chips (with his essence mix)... also great!
