Filledwith dark greens, it has somuch goodness while also being utterly delicious. I like to throw in leftover roast chicken to add a littlemore protein if I have it, but it is wonderful as a veggie option just as it is. It’s also a brilliant side dish – I actually first developed the recipe when I made it as an accompaniment for a Sunday roast dinner.
