On first reading of this recipe, I thought it was too quick and easy to be delicious, but I was in a hurry and went ahead with it. Wow! Wonderful flavors, which you can easily futz around with to get the exact taste you want. I'll make this one again and again. Makes a great side for any gourmet meal.

This recipe rocks! I have a hard time eating my vegetables and usually have to resort to hiding them from myself by combining with meat, cheese, etc. No need here. Ate 'em all by themselves! Thank you a hundred times! I'll be making this a lot. I also added a bit of chili paste for a little heat. Awsome Pros: Simple and quick Cons: none
