Hi Haudlady!

Thank you for posting this recipe. Sounds delicious .

I think I'd probably have to cut the cayenne too -- We don't like things that are too spicy-hot.

Have a peaceful evening.

Actually, I was considering increasing the cayenne.

Hi Haudlady....

As I was reading your recipe the other day, how you use 4 cloves - because you like extra garlic. Well, I do too, and will use extra as well.

But....it brought back a funny memory to me.

When I was about 17, I wanted to make a yummy dinner for my family - esp. for my dad, (who is now in a nursing home ).

I was making arroz con pollo - and, it called for 2 cloves of garlic. Well, I honestly didn't know what "two cloves" were.
So, at the grocery store, I saw garlic in the produce section, and picked up two of them. I was so busy running through the store picking out ingredients for this recipe.

Let me tell you, it took forever to peel those things ! My fingers were killing me!
As dinner was cooking, the smell of gaaaahhhhllliiccc (which I LOVE), REEKED through our house.

Dinner was delicious, everyone loved it.

You probably figured out what I did..... YEP.... I used TWO BULBS of garlic, for the arroz con pollo recipe .

Needless to say, I've never made that mistake again . (it still was yummy!)

BTW, if anyone has a recipe for arroz con pollo, I sure would love it.

Thanks!

Peace & Love to you all,

Denise

Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I made it tonight, but as is normal for me and recipes, I did make a couple of changes.

The first was an accident, but I'll probably repeat it next time too. I read the amount wrong for the ginger, so instead of using a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger I used a tablespoon. Good flavor though, so...

I added a pound of extra firm tofu cut into cubes, and I used a can of black beans plus a can of chick peas instead of the kidney beans.

And you're right, it is good with quinoa. I think couscous would work nicely too.

Thanks again!
