You can really add any vegetables you like to this recipe. One thing to consider, cut your vegetables in a similar fashion so they take the same amount of time to cook. I am serving this recipe with brown rice, however, I have also served this dish with roasted potatoes, quinoa, and couscous. Basically, any grain or potato would be a great companion for this dish.
