I made this tonight and an very glad I read the comments first..what a major screw up for the editor..In any case I just cant get past the bitterness of the vegetable..I boiled/blanched it longer than called for and added a little sugar but still it was bitter..No one liked it and we wont be making this again any time soon. If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the bitter taste, I'd love you to share that with me
