A simple, rustic meal bold in flavor and filled with fresh ingredients. Served over a bed of orzo, this dinner is light yet satisfying.
The simplest of meals is often the most satisfying. With the snow now disappearing into memory there still lingers a bit of a chill in the air. The promise of starting a garden and the satisfaction of seeing the garden transform into its entire splendor holds the promise of spring. These are the simple pleasures that I look forward too.
This meal is a reminder of such simplicity yet, brought together transforms into a pleasant meal.
