Comment
What I like about this is recipe is that it can be so adaptable. You don’t have to use all of the ingredients if it is not to your taste or if you are cutting back on some of the more expensive vegetables such as peppers. It tastes great with all sorts of combinations of vegetables.
I also like to keep some for the next day as it becomes more solid over night in the fridge and this gives it a whole new taste and texture and is great for my lunch the next day. It is rally filling too, so you won’t have to snack in the afternoon, which is a god send as I am I trying to watch my weight. Sitting here at the computer all day does not do your waist much good.
