Tips
- It f you are hungry and tired after work, this is a quick and easy recipe that does not require any chopping.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more black pepper, salt, or lemon juice.
- I highly recommend serving it with lemon zest, red chili, and your favorite cheese, as this gives so much flavor to the dish. Feta or burrata can also work.
