My husband liked this (I didn't try it. Sorry.) but he suggested it would be better "with the sauce from the thing you made last night" which was a Greek recipe. "So, you'd like it better with sauted mushrooms and lemon juice?" "yes." So, maybe not authentic, but that's our suggestion. lol. I served it with Vicki in CT's Recipe #229328. Reviewed for ZWT4
