I’m not a vegetarian, but sometimes I don’t feel like eating meat. There are days when I just want something lighter, and this is one dish I make when I’m feeling that way. It’s made with beans and spinach, so I still get the protein that I’d be getting if I were to prepare a dish with meat. I also like that it’s versatile and can be used in several different ways!
