So this is the best I could find. It was 20 degrees below Zero that day when I prepared this dish in the end of December, 2012. So hot peppers and the sauce warmed me up and I couldn’t stop eating it, you’re so right! <br /><br />Thank you so Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-1682519390388726782012-08-02T13:05:38.734+02:002012-08-02T13:05:38.734+02:00I make mine with Cumberland sausage, and it is del...I make mine with Cumberland sausage, and it is delicious.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999648823884855447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-42347744637329481682012-04-01T12:48:29.773+02:002012-04-01T12:48:29.773+02:00Καλησπέρα!

I think the only thing missing was a bit more chilli, but that's only due to being scared with the suggested green peppers, so I only added four red peppers.
