"This is so simple that I hesitate to even call it a recipe. But it is my favorite lunch of all time. Savory and satisfying, and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The recipe given is for one, but it can easily be doubled (or more) to feed more people. A main dish for vegans, or a side dish for meat-eaters, you can't go wrong with this recipe."
