Ah, loved it! Great as a vegetarian main or served as a side with chicken breast or steak. I upped the seasonings slightly but otherwise made as directed. Made a great mid week meal, thanks for sharing. -
Nothing pleases me more than finding a recipe that my whole family likes (it's no small task!). I cut back on the red pepper flakes for my little one and upped the fennel but otherwise made the recipe as stated. It was wonderful! Thanks for a keeper! -
Very tasty dish, lots of flavor, super hearty, easy to make, and best of all very healthy!! Thanks for sharing! -
Absolutely delish! Fed this to people who don't eat vegetarian all that often and it went down a treat. Made this as written and had no problems what so ever. I would up the heat a little next time, but that's just personal preference. Thanks for posting such a great recipe.

I put 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes instead of 1/4.

I'm a busy mum to 5 plus a precious grandson. I've always had a passion of serving healthy nutritious and most importantly tasty food to my family and friends. Being an Aussie I have a insatiable appetite for bbq'ing . My cookery books fill three shelves of a large bookcase and I use the internet constantly looking for new recipes and ideas.
My passion for food and cooking has been passed down to my children with 2 now being qualified chefs and another 2 working part time in the food industry whilst studying. My grandson has enjoyed the benefits of a 'foodie family' and has only ever eaten food freshly prepared by us and usually grown by a member of the family as well.
