I think this would be good using Quinoa or couscous in place of the acine de pepe.

This was a super easy and really good dish. I made it when I wasn't sure what time my husband would be home and kept it on warm on the stove. He is a picky eater and he loved it. After the first bite he told me he really liked it and would want it again.

This looks very appetizing and seems like it would be great as a side dish if you are not a vegetarian. I think that I may try this recipe with some sort of meat. KW

The meal overall was good, but gets old very quickly.
