I made this for a family get-together and it was a huge hit. I made it the night before, and I think the "sitting" time helped the flavours blend together, but I'm sure it would be great eaten right away, as well. The only thing I changed was adding some water with the vegetables, as it didn't seem like there was enough liquid. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
