A couple nights ago, I made this and even my dad, who announced, "I'm
not in the mood for that meatless thing tonight," loved it. It's quite
hearty (I served it over whole wheat couscous). Also, I used frozen
cauliflower and broccoli pieces (cheaper than all florets). I think you
could probably vary the vegetable proportions according to what you
like...
