This side dish is simple but delicious. While it goes with everything, it’s also very nice on its own and useful as a filler for sandwiches, rolls and wraps with the addition of chicken, ham or cheese.
You know when you’re making a new recipe and you have to keep going back for a spoonful, to check it still tastes as good as it did when you tasted it the first time? It’s one of those recipes.
