Notes
This dish is packed with nutrition. It is a well rounded meal all in one because of the special ingredients like hemp seeds that add good proteins and fats for a simple and delicious dinner! I add extra hemp seeds into my serving if I choose to eat this as my main meal. I have purchased the Gomasio at Whole Foods but it simply is roasted sesame seeds with sea salt. If you love spicy use a heavy hand with the cayenne. Otherwise it is considered mildly spicy. Please use organic when you can.
