I just had it with a generous portion of streamed green veggies with a bit of fresh garlic and some lemon juice. AMAZING!
Although, it would be good with rice or quinoa.

This sounds SO good! Might have to substitute cashews or peanuts for the walnuts, or just leave them out completely. Not a fan of walnuts!
