What substitutes can be used for tomatoe sauce and red wine vinegar? I don’t like either of those. Or maybe just leave them out? Thanks!
How abou tomato juice or V-8? Also, you could try another type of vinegar. Good luck & Happy Crocking!
Would it be possible to use Veggie broth instead of the water and veggie bouillon?
Hi Jamie, make this recipe your own, I am sure it will turn out delicious! 🙂
