Great recipe. Can reduce the amount of olive oil to 1/2, and brown sugar by 1/2. Thinking about making a brown sugar / balsamic reduction to further enhance the flavor.

I made this dish all summer, using fresh tomatoes, basil, & parsley from my garden. A wonderful side dish. I found that I liked the flavor better when using about half the amount of oil. I've read some of the reviews - yes, the brown sugar is great with this. Don't leave it out.
