"I found this in the flier at the local co-op. Putting it here so I don't lose it. Description reads "..This vegetarian version of a popular West African dish features a spicy peanut and tomato sauce that is often made with chicken or beef, and served over rice or couscous". I plan to try this without the cayenne."
