""I've lived my life as a happy carnivore & will keep it that way, but I do have family & friends of the vegetarian persuasion that I must occ take care to please. Just recently, realsimpledotcom published a recipe series that put a spotlight on recipes they saw as the best of the vegetarian lifestyle. This particular recipe got my vote as the "best of the best" for several reasons, mainly because I esp like the combo of ingredients. But on its own, it works as a vegetarian main-course when served w/a salad, bread & dessert. For a carnivore menu, it works well as a starter course or as a side-dish w/any meat course & is also an easy-fix to boot. I hope you agree & will give it a try (Times were given, but revised by me to be more realistic & allow time for ingredient prep) ENJOY!"..."
