I loved this dish! We made it exactly as posted with the exception of mushrooms as we didn't have any. This was served as a side to the Great Pumpkin Meatloaf-Recipe #325581. Fantastic side!

This was a good vegetable dish. All the flavors blended nicely together. The wine definitely pushes through to the front of the flavors, and the lemon & red pepper give some zip. This would be a nice company dish.
