Reviews
This was a nice basic recipe since I was looking for something to use my tahini in … I used couscous, tomato, and broccoli to make it into a meal. Delicious!
So good! I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I might cut the sugar down because it was a little sweet for my taste. I didn’t even have as much time to marinate as they suggested and it came out great.
quick, easy, and delicious
Super delicious, and also, what a beautiful dish the skewers make! I loved the spicy flavor. Nice job!
