This is a tasty dinner that can be thrown together pretty quickly. I got the base recipe from Bon Apetit and doctored it up with more spice and veggies. Really easy recipe to play around with and adjust the flavors to your liking. This is another good one that you could easily make vegetarian. Enjoy!
