This was a little unusual combination of ingredients. It was easy to put together, my husband liked this recipe, served it on pitas. I thought it was a fine recipe, however I did not find it attractive to look at.

We had this for lunch today - served with flatbread. It was very easy, and I had all the ingredients on hand, so it was a good change of pace from a typical tuna lunch. We all enjoyed it but thought there were a lot of strong flavors competing in it, and might reduce the cumin next time.

I made this for my toddler for lunch, and she would have eaten the whole plate had I let her! I used pita bread with it, and it came out great. I did save some for myself to taste after iftar :) Great recipe!
