Notes
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand.
To make it a low-carb meal, you can serve the dish on a bed of cauliflower rice instead of regular rice or quinoa.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the mixture for an additional minute or two after adding the vegetables.
