If I could give this six stars, I would. This satisfies ALL my requirements for a “great” recipe! Get a load of this, and I am not exaggerating: it’s quick and easy, inexpensive, attractive to look at, delicious, and very very healthy. It travels AND refrigerates well and it can be eaten hot or cold. What else is there to say? I like to double the batch and bring it to work all week for lunch. Sometimes I add chopped red bell pepper to the onion and garlic saute, but that’s mostly for added color and nutrition. It’s also excellent just the way it is! Two thumbs up!
