-  -Dill: Fresh dill is best, but frozen dill is also fine. Dried dill is not an option. +  -I use fresh parley has it grows wild around the house.  Many recipes call for dill.  I have not previously used dill in my cooking. 
-  -Stock: Chicken stock is my first choice, but beef or vegetable stock is also fine. It’s preferable to use low sodium to avoid over-salting the dish.+
