There is no question that red peppers are my favorite veggie. I think it's the sweetness - there is nothing like them. Sugar snap peas are another favorite - and who can't love carrots? I was searching for something to make to use up what I had left of a bag of carrots - and this recipe from the EW June/July 05 issue looked perfect to use some of it up.
Of course, since it was a weeknight, I was looking for simple, which this definitely was. Unfortunately, I over-steamed a little bit in my electric steamer, but it didn't seem to have an overwhelming impact. The one thing I did not like is that I felt there was just a little too much oil for the veggies - it didn't as much coat as drain to the bottom of the bowl. I did add salt and pepper after first taste, because it seemed to need it. The leftovers did reheat well, although on first opening of the bowl the sesame was a little pungent.
