I really liked this recipe. However I used broccoli and cauliflower with the onion instead of the tomaotes, peppers and mushrooms because I do not like those three items. Mine got really black on the underside though and I had cooked it 10 minutes so next time I think I will go with the 8 minutes instead. Really good and I will make again and recommend to others.
