Actually , it was not as spicy as I thought it would be.. funny thing was, I added another jalepeno because it was TOO bland.. And yes, it would be very good with rice, brown, fried, or white.. I love rice salads, as well.
I really love a salad called Frog Eyed Salad, which uses a tiny pasta called acini de pepe, which is very silmilar to orzo.. this recipe called for it as well, but I wamted a salad with the warmed chicken/pineapple..
Tomrorow, thinking since I need to thaw some meat, will do beef short ribs in a tomato/red wine gravy.. maybe..
what are you having , lol?
