Who missed me?
(Quickly brushing away tumbleweeds)
I’ve been busy but I finally went grocery shopping which means – FOOD! I was ready for something new, something different, something….SPICY.
Turns out, this recipe is actually somewhat healthy. I realized that using so many spices brings out flavor without the extra calories. Who am I – Jillian Michaels?
I didn’t use the fresh coriander though. After mixing up green chiles for green beans a few years ago, I keep my herb/vegetable shopping to a minimum.
As spicy as this seems, I’d add a little more of the spices. Just a bit. Just a tad. Maybe a little salt too.
Serve with rice and enjoy!
