Tweaks

  1. This dish is amazing! I love it as is but wanted to take it up a notch. When cooking the garlic I added 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes and 1-2 cloves roasted garlic. The roasted garlic adds a beautiful sweetness and depth. When I plate the dish I serve it over fresh arugula and top the plated with a good squeeze of fresh lemon and homemade bread crumbs! Best simple dinner ever and we have it every week! Yummy!
