This looks really good and I'm going to try it in the next few weeks. Did you take that picture? It's gorgeous. What did you serve on the side?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had taken that picture, but I actually got it off of www.wholefoodsmarket.com.
ReplyDeleteI served fresh green beans and brown rice as a side. We love to take fresh beans and fry them in a small amount of sesame oil with red peppers, sliced almonds and sesame seeds, just until crisp.
