- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Oregano: a spice I always put in my salad dressings, marinades, or soups! Dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor, and goes so well with the vegetables.
- Whole Grain Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture. Using a really good mustard makes all the difference, so don’t use basic yellow mustard for this recipe.
- Rice
