Comments
• Fast, healthful and unusual, this truly delicious side dish may be prepared in an apartment, as described above, or can be grilled outside to complement grilled meat and seafood. Grill when seafood or meat is nearly done, as less time is needed.
• Balsamic vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon, lime, or Spike Original Magic may be added to taste.
• The EVOO may be flavored. In this case I used a home-made rucola-flavored EVOO.
Wine and Beverage Pairing
• Vermentino Maremma Toscana IGT, Soave Classico DOC Le Bine Longhe, Monteregio di Massa Marittima DOC Aurora, Rosato Italiano IGT.
