This was a very good and healthy veggie dish. I can even see it as a full meal if ground turkey or beef were added. I followed it exactly but cooking times took longer because the liquid wasn't evaporating for step 2...I think the veggies had too much water of their own...so I didn't add the cup of water with the tomatoes and didn't cover it. We enjoyed this with rice. Made for Zaar Tag.
