L Graham: Thank you, we had the food coloring missing from the ingredient list. It's been added back in. It's optional whether the cook wants to use egg yolks or food coloring. It's up to you! Thanks for your comment! Blair, editor for RecipeLion.com

Food coloring is NOT listed in the ingredients, but we're told to add it. Personally, I don't think food coloring would add anything to this dish.
