These were very easy. I had to make some substitutions based on what I had on hand. I put in some cumin, tarragon (for the aniseed). I left out the coriander completely Blec! I grilled in the George Foreman, but there was just something missing for me, I might try them again and see. Maybe the flavours were too much, I'm not sure.

These are outstanding! I cut the recipe in half because of the small number dining, but kept the ingredients and proportions of the marinade the same as the recipe. I used the other ingredients called for, but substituted eggplant and fresh shiitake mushrooms for the summer squash, which was unavailable. My husband and I loved the complex flavor of the spice combination. Thank you for this recipe

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
