  1. Very good! I also soaked up the sauce with bread, that's definitely part of the dish :) Will make this again. Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2013
     
  2. I made this for PAC 2012. This was absolutely fantastic! It reminded me of a dish I used to have when I lived in the middle east as a child. It was called teshreeb. The best part is soaking up the sauce with some crusty bread. I ordered the spices online (I already had the ras el hanout). Thanks for posting a great recipe!
