For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the Hungarian hot peppers before chopping. To add depth of flavor, brown the ground pork with a diced onion before adding the remaining ingredients. A pinch of red pepper flakes can be added for extra heat. Fresh basil or oregano, chopped and stirred in during the last few minutes of simmering, will brighten the dish. Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added richness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
