    To get the best of the fresh basil I added it just after the vegie mix.cooked. The heat of the cooking will infuse the dish with the basil and get the best results.jFresh herbs should always be put in last of any dish,dry should be put in first to release their oils and flavor....Chef Jim - 4/9/08

    Good
    I think I would reduce the onions and increase the mushrooms - a little watery but good flavor. - 2/20/11
