Swaps and substitutions

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based hard cheese or skip the cheese and finish with extra lemon for brightness. If you avoid allium, replace shallot and garlic with mild celery and a pinch of asafoetida, and use mushroom or vegetable stock concentrate.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted asparagus, or simple roasted mushrooms to balance the rich, savory flavors. It also works well beside grilled chicken, white fish, or a holiday roast for a fuller meal.
