Side Note: Paducah Olive Oil features several substitution ingredients for this recipe. You may not have all of the above ingredients on hand so you can do what we did…substitute. We included dehydrated onions, red and green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and ginger. We also added (1) can of coconut milk…which made it delicious!
