I just did an experiment. I whipped up a vegetarian batch for the wife, replacing the beef with mushrooms, and beef broth with veggie stock. I've vegetarian-ized enough recipes to feel comfortable making those swaps.
The biggest difference, though, was that I left out the Saz�n Goya packet. I wanted to avoid the MSG, but the flavors just didn't come together at all. It appears that stuff really is the secret ingredient.
