  1. I agree this is awesome! I added a few (maybe 5) chopped Kalamata olives and sprinkled some feta cheese over the top at the end. I served it over whole wheat couscous. This is a really quick and healthy dish that tastes great - I will definitely make it again.
     
  2. Had this tonight, except cut the recipe by 1/3. Also used regular rather than kosher salt--and not even much of that. It was very easy and very good.
