Do I have to add the butter?
The butter adds a buttery flavor to this dish which makes it ultra decadent.
Many people do leave it out or cut the butter in half without issues. If you think it will be too rich, definitely leave it out!
Can I add potatoes and carrots?Yes! Add chunks of potatoes with their skins on and chunks of carrots (or baby carrots) at the beginning of the cooking time.
