This recipe with garlic and onion doesn’t match the title.
This lists vegetarian recipes...and uses chicken stock? How about a nice vegetable broth...easy to make and tasty as can be.
We used Better Than Boullion no chicken vegetarian broth. Also the Sliced almonds were added when plated to assure crispness. Also chopped fresh parsley as a garnish.
