On a hot, lazy weekend summer day I felt like making something light for lunch for my hubby and me without much fuss. I remembered seeing a recipe online. I created one similar using what I had in the kitchen. I served it with some hard boiled eggs I already had in the fridge and some Brie cheese but it is a meal itself as it has vegetables and protein. It’s versatility speaks for itself. We enjoyed it and will have it again. There was plenty for more than just the two of us. I used balsamic vinegar this first time but because of it’s color I would not suggest it for presentation.

I’d drain before serving next time,not use balsamic-vinegar.
