I almost always steam veggies in my steamer & that's how I did it for this recipe, then jumped to Step 3 & followed the rest of the directions right on down for a nice taste twist to veggies we really enjoy ~ This is certainly on my to-make-again list! Many thanks! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my swapmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #28]
