This recipe was the beginning of a wonderful food journey for my daughter when she was young and for me as her father and a new home cook. The accompanying article Mark wrote was a good story too.
Super easy and delicious. The addition of cilantro is a must. Definitely added to my repertoire.
Mark Bittman put it all in the title, and I trusted him. It is such a great week night dish.
