    Hi, I was just wondering what you serve with this? It looks so good! And I think I will find a way to add coconut milk. Yum!
    I have been eating the "Paleo Diet" way for a while now and didn't know what to call it.
    But I always get so stuck as to what to replace traditional carbs with(pasta and rice. I just keep feeling bored and stuck and doing root veggies..

    christin,

    Great question! I serve this over broccoli, snap peas or green beans. It's also nice over bok choy. If you want to do something that is part carb and part protein (much better than regular pasta) you can try it over those mung bean cellophane noodles from the Asian market (at least the Asian market in Boulder is where I purchase mine).

    This looks really good, my husband would love this. Is this spicy?
