I didn't mind this recipe at all. I did add heaps of extra vegetables that I had but a few of them didn't really compliment it (my fault). So don't add roasted beetroot or carrot. The addition of eggplant was good as was cherry tomatoes. The pumpkin was also good but went a little mushy.<br/>They only thing I could fault was that with the liquid as per recipe, I found it a little mushy. I omitted apricots and the pine nuts as I didn't have any. Didn't miss it.
