Thanks Chef! Loving your videos in London, 🇬🇧. I know a substitute goes against the spirit of the recipe but would you suggest an alternative to the anchovy to make the dish vegetarian?
Interesting question - how about Vegemite or Promite, Marmite, Seaweed, Miso Paste, MSG, Mushroom Paste, or even Shitake Mushrooms - all of these add that Umami flavor. You could also eliminate it all together. Hope that helps.
@@ItalianFood I did it your Italian way with things on hand. We had arugula so I used that, all else per your recipe. Wife really liked it, as did I. She said "This is a keeper, do it again sometime!" Thank you Chef! I think the arugula might make a suitable spinach substitute for me also (low oxalate requirement).
@@theoldbigmoose Excellent! I'm glad it all worked out for your wife, your health, and the fact that you did it with what you had on hand. Now that's Italian! How sweet it is!!!!

Anchovies is Italian Unami!
100% right!!!
This will be my lunch today! Now wife wants some too... so I'll make it for both of us. 🙂
Enjoy - please remember it's a little bitter with kale. If you use turnip greens it's much better.
