This is a delicious recipe that everyone needs on their list of regular meals.  It is so delicious!!  The red peppers, cilantro & lemon/lime peel make this unique and so flavorful.  The tofu and Portobello mushrooms take on the flavor of the Thai red curry  paste.  You have to try this~we all loved it.
