Sometimes Lazy Cookings Pays Off..

Yes, I match together dishes the way a blind monkey might stack LEGOs, but once in a while I stumble upon a real keeper. This is one dish that I'm particularly fond of.


A simple dish to toss together when you're feeling lazy. The while thing only take a few minutes of actual active work and the payoff is flavorful and healthy. This dish easily doubles for company or for leftovers.
