This is one of Jeanne Lemlin's recipes (from her wonderful cookbook "Quick Vegetarian Pleasures") that I have adapted a little to my taste. It is one of my favorite quick and healthy weeknight meals. It tastes good with or without the sour cream, and also is good with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese on top. It makes great leftovers and is good for work lunches.
