    Kind of labor intensive, but really tasty. I also added diced onion and shredded carrot to the veggies. The balsamic vinegar gives it a fantastic tanginess. I cooked it in a muffin tin to make portion control and leftover storage easier - I got 12 good-sized mini loaves. I'll be making this again. - 9/14/08
