Possible Ingredient Alternatives

For those seeking a plant-based alternative, eggs can be replaced with firm tofu. Crumble the tofu and add a pinch of turmeric for color. This substitution maintains a similar texture and protein content while accommodating vegan diets. Greek yogurt can be swapped with dairy-free coconut yogurt or cashew cream to keep the creamy texture without dairy. These alternatives offer a similar tangy flavor and richness. Extra virgin olive oil can be substituted with avocado oil or coconut oil for different flavor profiles or smoke points. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. These oil alternatives maintain the dish’s moisture and provide healthy fats.
