Let me start by saying how much I loooooooove the cucumber sauce! It ws terrific, and I can't wait to make it again for other purposes (falafel, anyone?)! The only complaint I have about the recipe is that the meat would definitely not serve 4. DH has a pretty big appetite, and when he saw me cooking the meat in my smallest pan he laughed and asked where the rest was LOL. I think it was just right once you added the cucumber sauce and all the veggies, but for heartier appetites you might want to double the meat. Thanks for posting; this is definitely a keeper. I look forward to trying it with your Greek seasoning recipe next time :).
