INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
MUSHROOMS:
- We must use mushrooms since they provide an earthy, savory flavor and tender texture. As another choice, utilize button, cremini, shiitake, oyster, or mixed mushrooms.
OLIVE OIL:
- Use olive oil to provide healthy fats and a Mediterranean flavor. As another option, you can use avocado oil.
GARLIC:
- We use fresh garlic to provide a strong, aromatic flavor. As a substitute, use 1 tsp. garlic powder.
PARMESAN:
- Use Parmesan to provide a rich, salty, and cheesy flavor. As another option, use Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast.
OREGANO AND THYME:
- Use these herbs to provide a Mediterranean-inspired flavor. Italian seasoning can be used instead.
LEMON JUICE:
- To counterbalance the richness of the Parmesan and include freshness, utilize lemon juice. You could utilize fresh lime juice as a different choice.
PARSLEY:
- Use fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish. Fresh basil can be used instead.
