It’s got just a few ingredients, many of them pantry staples – warming spices balanced by the acidic pop of tomatoes make it interesting, despite its simplicity. It’s hearty enough for dinner, light enough for lunch, flexible enough for eaters of various dietary persuasions. (Just turn it into a side for carnivores or add an egg for the non-vegan vegetarians.)
