This was delicious and foolishly easy! I didn't have celery salt so I threw in some Montreal steak seasoning. I also tossed some pine nuts on the top. I'll be making this again and again.

So easy! No need to watch or worry. I love this side dish. The ability to change the flavour depending on what your main dish is can be indispensible; ie; Vegetable bouillon for vegan, Beef bouillon for meat dishes and Chicken for poultry and fish. Very good.

Thanks for posting this recipe. It's a good side-dish to serve with any meat or poultry. Very healthy too.
