[Guest guest]

This was so terrific. I adapted a recipe I saw in

Hometown Cooking and added some vegetables I thought

would be a perfect match. So good.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

 

If you don't want to roast the vegetables indoors, place

on grill, off the direct heat and grill all vegetables,

minus garlic, until blackened in spots. Make sure not to

cut vegetables into small pieces, leave in large pieces

and grill. When they are cooked, remove and cut into

small pieces. Then continue recipe.
