Preparation
- Start with simple mise en place: measure, mince, and line up your ingredients.

- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Notes
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days when stored in an airtight container. For freezing, portion into meal-sized containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to retain moisture.
