Spice Tips
For extra depth, add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or a splash of Worcestershire sauce. A pinch of red pepper flakes brings subtle heat. Fresh parsley or chives sprinkled on top brighten the dish.
Serve over rice, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the savory sauce. Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
