This recipe can easily be altered to fit anyone's tastes. Add tofu or another meat replacement product to make it more of a main dish, though I didn't feel the need to do so. Also makes a great side dish for food cooked on the grill. Best made with fresh, in-season, farmer's market vegetables.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
