Yum! This stuff is awesome. It is flavorful enough to eat plain, but I splurged and had some for dinner on toasted whole wheat bread with a little goat cheese spread. I subbed chopped sun dried tomato for the red bell pepper just because it was what I had on hand, but I bet it would be great with the pepper too. Thanks for sharing!
