I mentioned them in particular because they're in season now, and they make a nice change from the more-common winter vegetables like kale, broccoli, or winter squash. Bob |

Any hot vegetable might tempt someone to smother it with butter, and the lasagna's rich enough. You wanna offset that richness with something fairly cool and bland/bitter. |

Thanks for the education. <snork> I'll add Mexicans have their version too. I forget what they call it and I'm not gonna google it. That doesn't mean it's going to be good with lasagna. Not that lasagna needs a side. >There ain't much authentic about Chicago's Little Italy, even >that deep trough slop they call pizza is a farce. You've never been to Chicago because someone would have made sure you returned in a casket. Lou |
