Serving Ideas : serve over rice or as a side dish.
NOTES : this recipe originally called for 2 Tablespoons of oil which I
       don't use. It also calls for 1/3 cup each of black olives and
       stuffed green olives which would add 2.4 grams of fat. With out
       the olives it had 1.1 grams of fat that I think comes from the
       peppers.
