My mom's favorite recipe in the book. We make it a lot together for easy dinners or quick lunches. It’s such a simple dish that literally takes three minutes to make, but it really adds so much to a meal as it is so rich in flavor and so vibrant. I love it served with Spicy Turmeric Hummus, some Spiced Squash and Sweet Potato Chunks, lots of quinoa and a handful of fresh arugula leaves.
