This is a delicious dinner. Don't be afraid of the "spicy" in the title, it is not hot, but rather flavorful. Not big fans of pitas, we served the kebabs with a quinoa mixture topped with a little feta cheese and sauteed baby mushrooms. Very good!

Super tasty! Perfect amount of tang from the hot paprika without being too overboard and the other spices worked beautifully together. As well as the pita bread I served with lettuce and a little bowl of mixed greek yoghurt, capsicum, celery, tomato and spring onion which made a great fresh and healthy meal.
