I'm always looking for recipes that are lower in fat and cholesterol since DH was diagnosed with a problem..but I also don't want our taste buds to be compromised and feel that we are missing out on everything that tastes good! This is such a simple and very tasty recipe and makes for a great weeknight supper served in pita bread with a nice crisp salad.
