One of my go-to quick meals to offer when I have unplanned visitors is this simple Italian appetizer with only two ingredients. They are delicious when paired with wine or served as an appetizer.

I didn’t have the parsley, and aside from using a small amount of quest fresco and grilling my chicken (garlic, lime juice, and olive oil) I stuck to the recipe. This is the humble beginning for a semi homemade Buddha bowl. Great pairings!
