YUM!


I love this, Excellent recipe!


What a beautiful dish!
Thanks,


I am a sucker for savory recipes containing mint. This sounds great.... Jim


Looks great. I love all of those veges. I sure have to try them like this. It's great to add a couple of sprigs of mint to the new potatoes when you boil them as well. Doesn't make them taste minty, but gives then a really nice taste.
Thanks for a great recipe.
