  • A good and easy sauce that was a nice addition to the Platter of Roasted Shellfish. Will use again for other shellfish and pasta dishes. Christmas 2008

  • We made this to go with the platter of shellfish. After making per directions, I reduced the liquid because it seemed way too juicey - maybe the tomatoes bursting caused it. Also added extra toasted cumin seeds - we liked the end result. It is a colorful dish which added to entire main course presentaion.

  • Despite the poor reviews I decided to make this since I had all of the ingredients on hand and I am glad I did. I served it with the roasted shellfish for a birthday dinner and it was great.

  • I made this recipe for a summer BBQ. The guests loved it. The cumin added a nice balance to the other foods we were serving.

  • I disagree w/ previous review. I made this as a sauce for roasted shellfish and everyone liked it. Follow directions exactly except couldn't find yellow grape tomatoes.
