I found this recipe in Bon Appetite magazine and immediately thought about how I might improve it to work a little better as a filling family meal, made easy for the week. The result? Porridgy, earthy goodness that will fill your belly and supply some great nutrients. This takes a little long for the average

This is a classic weeknight meal, but dressed up. If it is winter you can keep to the stove but if it is summer feel free to head out and grill up that london broil! as always for one of these weeknight staples, feel free to substitute whatever protein your family prefers, or whatever rice
