Reviews
Love this as a side dish!
This is my GO TO side dish when providing a meal for someone (or potluck)! Not only is it super yummy, but it can cover any major food allergy (I've used it for someone who is dairy-soy-gluten-nut-egg-fish sensitive...) I have made it so many times I now just throw in any vegetable I have lying around and it has never disappointed! I have also substituted smoked paprika for the regular paprika to give it a more complex taste.
I forgot to give it the 5 stars it deserved. By the way, I don't change a thing except maybe fresh green beans over the frozen kind.
I loved this recipe. I use it more as a side dish than a main meal. Flavorful, colorful and tasty - great for a dinner party.
