On my quest to find plant-based meals for regular Joe’s, this is one of my absolute favorite finds. It hits all of my requirements for something I’ll make over and over again…
- The ingredients are cheap, easy to find, and ones that I usually have on hand
- It makes great leftovers and travels well
- It’s fast! A warm, delicious, filling meal is only 30 minutes away
Even though there’s not too much to this simple recipe, I will say my chopper is a lifesaver for any recipe with diced red onion. Mine is the one found here on the Pampered Chef website. There’s also a Cuisinart Model that looks pretty comparable and is slightly cheaper.
So without any further life stories or “blog fluff” I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
