Excellent flavor. It really delivered for being so quick to make. I used Romano beans as that's what I had and didn't drain and rinse them because thats washing away a lot of nutrition. Love the addition of the lemon juice. This is a lovely find, thanks for posting it. Made for PAC, Fall '09.

Loved the ease of preparation. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable, because I think the flavor is better. Nice balance of flavors and very healthy. Thanks for the post.
