Step 3 indicates to add olive oil at this point, but there is no separate amount indicated for this step in the ingredient list. The 1/3 cup olive oil is supposed to be used in step 7. In step 3, how much oil is supposed to be used? I didn't realize this until I started to make the recipe. Now I am going to have to improvise.
