I did not have Cumin on hand but opted to use Emerils Essence as I know that is really good on most thing's. The kids loved it. It gave it a different flavor then the cumin would have but it was great anyways. Thanks so much for posting this. We all enjoyed it.

A very healthy 5 stars! I used homemade (unsalted) chicken stock and fresh baby carrots, and left out the salt as I'm trying to wean the rest of the family off salting everything to death. The chicken stock and the fresh veggies gave enough flavour that the salt wasn't even missed, and fussy DD polished off a plateful. Little brother DS was less willing but we managed a few bites (better than nothing as he's very picky) I served the kids theirs first without the cumin and pepper .. and added cumin and pepper to DH and mine .. both ways are good, and this was easy to make. Please see my Rating System: an excellent 5 stars for a recipe that gives maximum taste for minimum effort and if you can use homemade chicken stock it's super healthy too. DD finishing her plate was the finishing touch... to build on this veggie success I will be making this regularly, Thanks!
