"I'm just learning to make North African and Middle Eastern flavors. I won't say these are an authentic recipe, but they are good. Serve in a pita with fresh lettuce, onion, and tomato, or as an appetizer. They're good with tzatziki or donair sauce."

I live in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and have always enjoyed cooking. I do wish my friends would try new things more often, it's not like I've ever made them sick... often. I'm no longer submitting to any recipe site but you can find many of my recipes at my page listed below.
