Serving Suggestions

Consider pairing it with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete vegetarian meal. For an added treat, serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for quick reheating, but the oven will help maintain the pudding's texture.
