Another great way to cook one of my favorite vegetables. Great flavor and texture, served with Recipe #301965. Made for *Fall 2008 PAC* Thanks! -
Very good and simple to make. Followed the recipe exactly as written other then I cooked mine on the grill and I didn't measure my olive oil, I just drizzled it on. Everyone enjoyed this side dish. Made for Fall PAC 2008.
