I’ve been with my husband for about six and a half years now, and I have to say one of the most special aspects of dating this long is the fact that we navigated through the beginnings of adulthood together. We’ve been with each other through first jobs, first real paychecks, first apartments, first a whole lotta things. We’ve also been with each other through learning how to cook for ourselves outside of a college setting. Most people our age can relate, when you’re first starting out you’re always looking for quick, cheap and easy recipes that you can whip up without creating a huge fuss in the kitchen. (Of course that’s still the story for me now).
I’ll never forget the first time we made this dish together. We were at M’s pretty crappy yet fabulous apartment in Philly and wanted to try something new. This recipe was given to us by his sister, and we were drawn to how easy it looked. We weren’t wrong! It’s really tasty, has a ton of flavor, and very quick. Great to serve with a side of greens and rice. We made it the other night and as always it brought me back to the good old days. Enjoy.
