Best ways to enjoy it

Serving this dish can be as creative as you want it to be! I love to plate it up with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a twist of lemon to brighten the flavors. Pair it with a crisp salad or crusty bread to complete the meal. If you’re looking to elevate the experience, consider a side of sautéed vegetables or a light sauce that complements the dish beautifully.

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your leftovers fresh, be sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They usually last for about 3 to 4 days. When it’s time to reheat, you can use the microwave or stovetop to warm it gently and evenly—just be careful not to overcook it again. If you want to save a batch for later, freezing is also an option. Just ensure it’s cooled completely before freezing, and label it to stay organized!
