This recipe was great! I was unable to find walnut oil, however, so used peanut oil and a few drops of sesame oil, which gave it a nice dark flavor. If you are on a budget I recommend not even using the bell peppers for garnish, it looks pretty and delicious the way it is after cooked.

We served this at Christmas time and all 8 of us thought this was a huge hit. Of the "too much food" served that week, this was the one most memorable and a little unusual. All I can add is try it, you will be pleased with the results!
