We enjoyed this alot. I served with a spicy grilled pork chops and found the slight sweet/tart flavor balanced out the heat in the main dish. The walnuts and raisens were perfect and the dish is colorful. I left the green beans slightly al dente as I prefer them that way. Thank you tigerduck for sharing your recipe!
