We really enjoyed this! Easy to make, wonderful flavor, what else can you ask for? I made exactly as written, except that I increased the garlic, as I LOVE garlic. A wonderful dish, and I love that it has both the vegetable and the starch in one dish. I'll definitely be making this again! Thanks for posting.

This made a wonderful dinner and it was very easy to put together after a busy day. I really loved the basil in this and I was a little heavy handed on the red pepper which gave it a some heat. It had plenty of flavor without needing a heavy dressing and I could see myself eating this one all summer long! Thank you Breezermom for this little trip to Greece!
