The beauty of this dish is its tendency to let the individual vegetable
flavors shine. If this recipe seems too bland for your personal taste,
add a light seasoning of salt and freshly ground pepper. There is also a
nice organic Swiss seasoning called Herbamare, by Bioforce, that can
be used. It is available at specialty markets and health food stores.

For those looking for a little more adventure in
their vegetable cooking, try the following
variation:
Warm 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, 1/4
teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch of
ground clove in a skillet. Lightly sauté the
