So much heat and flavor you won't even notice those "pesky veggies" thrown in there.
*Disclaimer this recipe contains peanuts-if you have allergies do not make or consume*
This recipe will ensure that you are a fire breathing dragon after you eat it......so if you don't like the heat you can always decrease the amounts of chili peppers and siracha sauce.
Enjoy dragons!

~20-30 minutes to make. Time consuming but delicious and worth the fuss.
