Simple and stunning!!!!!! We ate this tonight with Merlot's Moroccan Lemon Chicken recipe #34697 my Cumin Potatoes, and oven bake Turkish bread for a fast and delicious dinner.

Thought this was absolutely delicious.I am constantly trying to find new fruit and vegetable dishes to get more of same into our diet, without being bored! This was really different- and really good. I added a little fresh grated, good quality parmesan cheese and it added a wonderful bit of saltiness and flavor. Really good! Don't leave out the mint if you have it!
