We were glad to find this recipe, since our organic vegetable delivery is overflowing right now with just these ingredients. We needed more oil to prevent sticking, even in a nonstick skillet, and it was a little bland. I should have used more pepper flakes, maybe. I skipped the lemon but it might have been a good idea. Thanks for the healthy recipe!
