    Good
    This was pretty good, nothing special though. A little too complicated for a simple side, though. - 3/18/08

    Bad
    It was sooooo bitter and not at all flavorful enough. It might work better if you buy canned roasted red peppers instead of doing it yourself... but as is I took one bite and then had to throw the rest out. What a waste! - 3/3/08
