Additional Comments:
-----------------------------------------------------

you can use a green bell pepper if you like things mild, or a Jalapeno, or none at all. give it a taste before adding the Tabasco, especially if using a spicy pepper.
you really can't go wrong here. i have roasted a habanero for a smoky flavor and omitted the Tabasco.

This is a spicy recipe, great for winter.
