Notes: I bet blended Mori Nu Lite tofu would work well as a substitute
for the yogurt. Also, an alternative prep for the red pepper puree
would be to cook the peppers over gas flame on stove or under broiler
till skin is black. Place in zip-lock bag for 5-10 minutes. Remove
skin and then blend to a puree in blender.
