It's just as tasty as when mom used to make it, only this one has less fat and fewer calories. The dish also contains 28g of protein, which is right at the recommended 30g you should have at each meal. The addition of walnuts provides a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have been shown to lower cholesterol.

Feel free to lick the plate afterwards.
