About the Recipe

This dish is very tasty and super healthy. You can use all organic ingredients and add salt or pepper if you feel it needs it.

I like to serve this over organic brown rice, but it works well over pasta, too. The brown rice takes some time to prepare so make sure to start cooking the rice before you start the main dish.
