Well Mark, it seems you’re right. How embarrassing to leave off such a star ingredient. I fixed the recipe card. Thank you so much for pointing my omission out.
Looks awesome!
This is one of my favorite recipes! I have made it twice just this week. I pair it with some Spanish rice, and it tastes great.
