Made and reviewed for ZWT9. Loved it - plain and simple to go with any Middle Eastern style meal. Served alongside recipe#290839 for a delicious meal. I used corn couscous as regular couscous is not gluten-free, but otherwise made as written. Photo to be posted - as soon as I charge my camera battery and can get it loaded.
