These are so good! I make them all the time as a substitute for meat while still getting protein. I've added cilantro to them as well and so delicious. I serve them with plain raita (plain yogurt, shredded cucumber, a little cumin and a little sugar). They even fill my husband up!

i like! i'll try again with some different spices. good between two small pitas with some tzaziki. even got my non-vegetarian partner to admit that they were pretty good.
