I selected and made this recipe specifically for DH, as he LOVES avocados. Well, he was not disappointed. He loved this combination of vegetables and spice. I did not add the avocados to the mixture, but spooned the mixture over the avocados, as I did not think DH could eat the whole dish himself, and did not want the avocados to brown and ruin the dish. So DH will have another serving tomorrow with fresh avocado. Thanks BennyMade for a fantastic recipe. Into the KEEPER cookbook with this one. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
