I made this delicious recipe tonight. I had just minor modifications. As I had no bell pepper, I added a small quantity of jalapeno pepper. As I had no basil, I used 1 T. of oregano and 1 T of thyme. I am from Memphis, so I used BBQ sauce in lieu of catsup. Family loved it.
I’m so glad you all enjoyed it Barb! Thanks for sharing your modifications.
I made this easy recipe for a second time today. I used leftover Basmati rice and once again without basil I used dried thyme and oregano. I added chopped fresh basil from our garden. This time I felt the 2 teaspoons of salt was too generous, and I recommend only 1 teaspoon of sea salt. I had no red pepper, but I could have added chopped up celery. Only thought of that later. I used suggested catsup as a stopping, and it was delicious. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your modifications Barb!
Wonderful recipe! However, the hemp oil should be replaced with another oil that is suitable for heating. Hemp oil must not be heated to avoiding losing its delicate nutrients and converting the EFA’s to unhealthy transfats. Hemp hearts and seeds are more resilient because of their casings.
