Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary along with the bay leaf.

Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste for the best results.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
