I didn't like vegetables when I was a child, too. My mother, like yours, tried to convince us to eat vegetables, but without success. Till present, I admit that I can eat only a few of them......

This dish is one of my mother's favorites. Although, it's too bitter for me, I will try to eat it because it has a lot of benefit as you described.

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and your trick for making the bitterness tone down..... ;)
