I made this for dinner last night and it wasn't well received. I made it with white kidney beans and substituted red bell peppers for the green. My children smothered it with ketchup and I felt that the only flavour we tasted was the cilantro. We still have half of it left and I will add more lemon juice to help balance the cilantro. I also agree with Giddyupgo that the oil wasn't necessary and would not be missed if it was omited.

This was excellent served with Lebanese chicken (also on Recipezaar). I changed the green peppers to red peppers (just a personal preference) and I used white beans. I also cut out the oil for a completely fat-free dish (I don't think it lost anything). I finished it off by mixing in little paprika. Yummy!
