- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Very easy to prepare in pressure cooker or steamer using fresh veges from the garden. Makes a healthy and delcious appetizer or salad. I find this very versatile and lots of uses for it! Splenda works great for diabetics and my relatives appreciate I can make it that way too!
