Let me start by saying that I know there are a LOT of spices in this!
2
Do not be intimidated because you can obviously add or subtract ingredients to suit your needs and tastes, and it isnt really going to matter if you are missing a few.
3
I personally prefer to omit the onions and peppers, but some folks like them, thus why I included them.
4
Regardless, this is a delicious dish, and I hope that you give it a try!
