SO HOW'D IT GO?
quick an easy as stated. I ate this for breakfast this morning : p
I thought this was fine... it is quick and easy. don't eat it without rice, it doesn't taste very good. (naan might work too, like the author says.)
what does DH stand for?
Designated Hitter? I think she was cooking for her baseball team... ::)
what does DH stand for?
I made this for my DH who is a confirmed meat-eater and he loved it! Now you know it *has* to be good when he says, with a little rice who will need the meat? :o
In the words of Orinoco Womble: Yummm-mmee! Mme Cholet couldn't have done it better. (Uh...that's a compliment where I come from...) ;D
Very tasty and very quick! And portable. This suited my wife and I perfectly for a visit to my parents house. You see, I come from a decidedly non-vegan family, and this was an easy to transport dish. We brought the ingredients, cooked it quick and easy and enjoyed it a ton!
So now it goes into regular rotation at the homestead.
(Note: I accidentally grabbed the McCormick's Hot & Spicy Mexican Style Chili Powder, instead of the regular stuff... added a good, tasty bit of kick. Something to consider if you like it a bit spicier.)
