I always get asked if I cook for myself. The short answer is rarely.
Often, the last thing I want to do when I cook all day is do it some more. And to be honest, I enjoy cooking for others more than for myself.
So when I do cook for myself, I usually make something requiring little effort and containing 5 ingredients or less.
This dish is highly satisfying and comes together in about 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
