Notes
This is my favourite grain sidedish for nights when I get home tired and hungry and want a SUPER simple but tasty pilaf to accompany tempeh or fish or a legume like chickpeas or bright green fresh FAVA BEANS (in the photo) that came in my CSA food box last wk. Edemame would make a nice accompaniment too!
