This dish has lots of flavor- the red chili of course contributes a great deal of it, but I think the green tea definitely adds a pleasant earthy taste too and is nicely complemented by the lemon zest. Attractive as well, with the various colors (I used a yellow bell pepper instead of red and zucchini since that is what I had on hand). Thanks for posting !
