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.
