I used green beans, butternut squash, mushrooms and red bell peppers, so this was a beautifully colorful dish. The amount of water called for was way too much and I ended up siphoning off almost 2 cups! I used lite coconut milk, and I think this would have been better with the regular kind. I also would suggest using ghee instead of oil and adding some kind of nuts toward the end (e.g., pistachios, almonds, pumpkin seeds or something) to make it more substantial and to give it a little protein boost.
