Introduction

FIlling, delicious, and nutritious (5.6 g of fiber per serving and dense in vitamins and minerals), this simple dish makes a satisfying entree for a lunch or light supper when paired with a freshly tossed salad and a choice piece of fruit (My favorite combination is a spinach salad in a light lemon-garlic vinaigrette and a half-cup of strawberries or mandarin oranges).
