A note from Mariah
I cut this out of the 2006 Oct Real Simple Magazine. It is still a favorite go-to recipe, especially on week nights (it takes 20 mins). Throw in spicy sausage or fresh herbs to mix it up, or use veg broth to make it vegan, otherwise it is a lovely, healthy meal. Enjoy with a loaf of crusty bread and Irish butter.
