This was a good, basic weekday dish - light, refreshing, satisfying and simple to prepare - and we enjoyed it very much. It looked very pretty in the baking dish before we cooked it, and smelt fabulous in the oven. The only problem we had was that the onions were under-cooked, even after an extra ten minutes in the oven. We reviewed this as a regular recipe, not as a "diet" recipe, and we'll make it again.
