This recipe is too expensive. I can't afford to buy all of the ingredients.

I don't like quinoa. Is there another grain I can use instead?

I'm not a fan of pomegranate, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without it.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I also added some chopped kale to the recipe for an extra boost of nutrients.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used brown rice instead of quinoa and added some chopped walnuts.
