  1. I did cut this recipe in half, making 2 bundles for each of us & then followed the recipe on down, although when ready to serve, I did season it with lemon pepper rather than the usual S&P! A great way to serve this many times neglected vegetable! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market recipe tag]
