This is a dish I saw on Food TV, but it looked so simple I figured I’d try it and share it. As I am prone to do, I made some changes like the addition of oregano and black pepper, and I cut back on some salt. And lastly, I added some pomegranate molasses at the end for some thing different. (Balsamic works great too.) I hope you like it.
