I paired this with baked fish & thought the flavors went well together. The dish is visually colorless. Next time I would add something for color..... Maybe grated carrots? Diced red peppers? Or even stirring in chopped parsley right before serving? Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall 2011 Pick A Chef. You were adopted! :-)
