SO HOW'D IT GO?
I was disappointed as there never seemed to be much "gravy". I think I would add more tomatoes and less coconut (the coconut was a little disturbingly crunchy or stringy-- several guests asked what it was in a trying-to-be-polite way). The green beans were a delicious component though and really matched well with the other flavors.
