Wonderful dish for entertaining, especially Christmas, this recipe permits fine-tuning of kitchen timing. Yes, I drool over great veggies! I paired this with Recipe #283215 #283215 which was a mistake as both had definite tastes in incompatible directions: Mandarin vs Italian/Greek. Serve this with a plainer meat, or stir-fry some tofu to make this a complete meal. Thanks for sharing this recipe, PickyEater. Made for Secret Ingredient Tag, QI=Butter.

I'm a slightly "over-50" guy living with my wife and 2 kids in Columbus Ohio. I have been a picky eater for as long as I can remember. I'm trying to improve my cooking skills more or less in self defense. It's a control thing ... if I make it and I don't like it, I can whine and complain to myself :-)! Since cooking is not my wife's favorite activity, I'm looking for recipes I can enjoy preparing and eating while lightening her load a bit. Hopefully a win-win situation.
