    I know that olives are great ingredient for this recipe but do you have recommendations for a substitute for those who don't love olives?

    Hi Amy and thanks for your question. So I've made the Red Pepper Pesto portion of this dish with capers vs. olives in the past and really enjoyed. The capers still provided that nice briny salt that we typically get from olives. Let me know if this helps. I really appreciate your participation with Rouxbe. All the best, Chef Kirk

    Hi, Can I use horseradish from a jar if I cannot find the root?
  • Lauren L

    Hi Robb. Great question. Fresh horseradish is so unique in it's punch of pungent flavor that it doesn't really compare to the jarred stuff. If I were making this recipe sans fresh horseradish, I would likely omit the horseradish and add a good amount of fresh cracked pepper or a peppery arugula leaf on top. If you want to try it with jarred horseradish, give it a shot and let me know how it tastes. Lauren

    It looks like the horseradish adds a nice final touch! I would have never thought to add it- looks especially beatiful grated! I am going to try this next time I am hosting.
