I made this as written, no changes, it was good, very filling, will definitely make again! It was pretty bland, and will just try to add more flavor next time!

The recipe as is is not flavorful. I had to add a bunch of spices and salt and pepper to get it to a decent taste. Even that didn't help it too much

I have not made this recipe because I do not like rosemary at all. What should I substitute instead? Any recommendations?
