so quick and so tasty! Made it as directed but used 1 Tbsp brown sugar Splenda because hubby is diabetic. Sliced the garlic, and used very large cloves. It carmelizes beautifully. Served with brown rice, asparagus and butternut squash. Thanks Anacat for a refreshingly different recipe. I'll be making this many times.
