I made up this side dish to be hot and spicy so it would be great with fish or chicken or just all by itself! Hope you enjoy it!

A classmate of my daughter's made this for "Spanish night" last eve. SO good, I had to get online to find this recipe. Looked just like your picture. We ate at room temp., and still very yummy.

    Really delicious! Great flavors. I found this recipe last-minute as I was preparing dinner and wanted to have quinoa. The only change I made was I used canned butter beans, and the sun-dried tomatoes were marinated (ingredients I had on hand). This is a very nice combo of flavors, and quick to put together. I will definitely make it again. Thanks for posting a great recipe, Chef Lee!
