Recipe Tips
Try making this in the microwave: Follow the same steps, but use microwave safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke wrap with holes and cook on high for 2 minutes at a time, until vegetables are just soft. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, and cook another 2 minutes until heated through.
Try adding a serving of fruit, like pineapple, with the peppers.
