I created this dish this past Pesach when we had very few ingredients to work with, and it became a winner. I was planning on saving it till next Pesach to share with you all, but it fit in so well here, I decided to share it now. It’s really delicious, and it has such a beautiful presentation. It’s also a great way to get kids who love spicy foods to eat something green without them realizing it!
