"Yet another one made up on the spot due to fresh vegetables that were about to die. For as simple as this is, it's remarkably tasty. If you can't find the Rustic Tuscan seasoning (I bought mine at a specialty kitchen store in California, Olde Thompson brand), regular Italian seasoning will do, but it won't be as good. Cooking time is refrigeration time."
