  1. May 25/09 Good but seemed to be lacking something. I will make it again but I think I would add more mint, it seemed to be lost in the other spices. Maybe cus I used fresh mint from the garden about 2 tablespoons. The cumin and ginger seemed to take over. I marinated for about 8 hours. We did enjoy it and the timing on the grill was about right, mine took 12 minutes. Thanks for posting. April 27/10 - made it again but this time I cooked in the oven under the broiler, turned out great! Really like th minty flavour.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
