Such an easy, filling AND delicious meal!!! Made this for this house and it was such a hit!! I made a lemon tumeric rice to add into the bowls and it was such a great addition!

I made this recipe for friends, and it was a major hit! I've already shared it with other friends and family to try as well.

This was 5 star delicious, but it took 2 hours to prepare, not 25 minutes. Maybe if I had a sous chef to wash, chop, peel and grate the ginger…. I’d love to hear from anyone who could get all this ready in 25 minutes. And I even had leftover tzatziki.

We love this recipe! But I always have lots of leftover tahini dressing. What else can I use it for? Thanks!

Great recipe! I have never been a fan of tahini and thought this would change my mind. Nope …I would make it again but skip the tahini dressing.
