For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the vegetables while sautéing. Fresh basil or parsley, chopped and sprinkled over the finished dish, adds a vibrant touch. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or beef for the pork. For a vegetarian option, use plant-based ground meat or add sauteed mushrooms.
