This was way better than I thought it'd be for a first try. Waaaay better, like I wish I'd actually written down what I was doing while cooking good. There may have been another vegetable in there I'm forgetting, and likely a few more spices, will update as memory serves.

I think the potential to recreate this many times over using seasonal vegetables is limitless.
