I had to join in just to rant about this great recipe. I saw it recently and had to come back to say how easy this was to make. The taste is out of this world. Definitely a keeper !

A phenomenal dish. The taste was unlike anything I have made before. The flavors did not blend into each other, rather the really did act in harmony with each other. Every bite sent a shot of a different flavor, cool bitterness of the lemon, the sweet zing of of onion, the spicy bite of the sausage, the tang of the feta, and the cool sweetness of the peppers. Simply put my wife said it was the best dish I have ever made, followed by the question of when I would be maiming it again, and could we invite some friends over.

I've been unsure how to rate this for some time now. I love everything in this dish, but all together it was just a little to busy for us.

This is the best meal I've ever had and every single friend I've given the recipe to loves it. It's one of those foods that you can't stop shoving into your mouth even though you're about to burst. I do omit the lemon zest as it is too much with the lemon juice as well. Awesome recipe.

Very good. I added the red onion with the sausage ,olives and seasoning just to cook slightly. I also decreased the amount of olive oil as it didn't seem to need as much as called for. Lovely flavour combination.
