I want to try this soon, it looks and sounds yummy; I find that often pictures used in recipes aren't always the ones of the "actual recipe".. I can see red dried chili peppers used for heat in place of the "crushed red" pepper flakes this recipe calls for... If you've ever eaten one of those dried chili peppers by accident you will soon regret it, so I understand switching them out but at least use an "actual recipe" photo so people making the recipe know what to expect... thx.
