After one of the many visits BF has made to his mom’s house, he came home having had this dish and wanted us to replicate it in our own kitchen. He raved about how good the dish was as he dialed his mom’s phone number to ask for the recipe. I’ll admit I was skeptical. (I’m not big on veggies, so I’m skeptical of any veggie dish!) The first time we tried it I was amazed by how good it was; amazed I liked it so much. This side dish quickly became our main focus as we ate our meal.
