"Found this in a magazine.Cut out most of the oil it called for as it really didn't need that much. Great main entree. Or a great side dish with chicken or seafood."

A wonderful side dish with a good bite to it, we loved it and i will be making it again. Good bonus too, low fat, sodium and sugar!! I just made two servings and garnished it with Parmesan cheese flakes and added more red pepper flakes than called for cus we love a little heat. Thanks for sharing a real "loaded with flavour" keeper!!
