Loved this and it's so healthy! I added a little olive oil to keep it moist and did corn as well as chick peas. It was so yummy!

Delicious! And really easy to add whatever you have in your fridge. In my case kale, tomato and mushrooms. Yum!

The picture seems to include corn, but the recipe does not. It is very good though!
