    As other reviewers have already covered, this is a great recipe as is. It is also a great starting point if you like to experiment with other flavor profiles. For instance you can add a Thai curry paste, with or without a can of coconut milk, and top with Thai basil and bean sprouts for a Thai curry. (You can skip the PB or leave it in.) Or you can leave out the PB, add some Indian spices, and top with paneer or crispy tofu for a riff on Indian curry. It's a very versatile base to play with.
