This was a very tasty side dish. I was expecting it to be the main course, but it wasn't enough. I suppose that should have occurred to me! Served with Boca burger patties, and it was a nice accompaniment for the patty. We used chutney as a condiment. It might be good to serve this over rice, and would look pretty, too! (It already was pretty with the cilantro!)
