      OMGOODNESS!!!!! This was delicious 😊
      I had to leave out the broccoli but everything else stayed the same. I used fresh spices because they are more flavorful. This was a win with my family.
      Thank you for posting this recipe.

      Hi, I'm making this for dinner tonight but going to start preparing early. Is this ok to do?
      Also, if I leave out the broccoli, will it change the consistency (for lack of a better word) enough to cook at a shorter time?
      Ty very much.
