I use special vegan Worcestershire sauce, but regular has anchovy paste. Just a heads up! I was surprised by this, years ago.

I just noticed the same thing… meaning this is not a vegitarian dish. I didn’t realize you could get vegan worcestershire. I must look for it!

Yes. It says vegetarian not vegan. This would be the modification you would need.

Nicole Cooper, I was wondering if this turned out super sweet. I like to follow recipe exactly the first time I make it, but I am dubious about the jam AND the molasses.

They lost me with the raspberry jam. I’m finding that a lot of these recipes have a bit too much sugar in them for a diabetic. Still might be able to make some of them with some tinkering.

Use fruit only jam or puree some fresh raspberries.

Mary A Wieland June 26th, 2017

And the amount of oil used outrageous. Ever heard of dry sautéing?? Works well.

Acatlady February 19th, 2018

I agree.
