Notes

For additional flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro on top before serving. If you want a milder dish, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a splash of water to prevent drying out.
