Thanks so much for this recipe. It was incredible as stated. There were so many vegetables & all the flavors were awesome. It really filled me up. The next time I'm going to try it with pork. This is my husband's new favorite. Thanks again. I have enough leftover veggies & rice for lunches. - 4/12/10
