So good, so easy, and so filling - this is a recipe to keep on hand for a weeknight dinner. I made this for my situationship once as a quick meal after we got back from the gym, and he said it’s the best thing I’ve made yet. Which I found a bit offensive actually because it was so much easier than the other dishes I’ve made him, but I guess it’s just that good.
