The colors of these vegetables are so gorgeously spectacular, G-d’s bounty, that I immediately said to myself, yes! a recipe waiting to be made. If you want, you can add white cauliflower to the mix for another color sensation but I just fell in love with this look. I confess, although the holiday of Purim […]
