When I read the recipe I was thinking wow that quite a bit of lemon juice, however everything balances out with the raisins adding sweetness and the balsamic vinegar adding a twist in the taste. Minor substitution instead of 2 cups peas, I used 1 cup peas and 1 cup corn and threw in some raw carrots for additonal colour. Herbs used was oregano, dry mustard and thyme. Nice and easy healthy recipe.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
