This was absolutely delicious! My only complaint was that for me, there was not enough tomato flavor. Next time I make this, I'll probably use a 28oz can of diced tomatoes. Oh, I also didn't have mint, and used dried herbs and I thought it turned out very well. My non-vegan friends thought it was great as well. This would work well as a main dish or a side dish.
