"This was a big hit with everyone; it was extremely easy to make and had great flavor. I subbed ground turkey for the ground beef and doubled the amount of garlic. In my opinion, the only shortcoming of this recipe is that it needs a little pain. Next time I'm going to add a little pepper oil or minced peppers and see if the heat will this one o""

"I really, really love this recipe. It's so unbelievably simple and so delicious with lots of room to add some of your favorite Mid-Eastern ingredients. My friends have raved about them non-stop. This will be a staple in my kitchen!""

"I followed this recipe verbatim and they turned out really well. Great texture with a nice, subtle flavor palette that allowed the pistachios to come through. I wouldn't want to change too much, as I wouldn't want to over power the nuts and parsley. A great alternative to your traditional starch side!"

"This recipe is the way to go with thick cut chops. That brine seasoned and tenderized them so well, you cut just about cut the pork with a fork. Everyone raved about it and I'll be using it again and again."

"This is a great recipe and a great way to make a rice dish that you don't have to babysit. I wanted to use brown rice but didn't want to alter the cook time, so I used instant brown and everything else was the same. Not very purist, but time was a factor and it turned out well. Tripled the garlic content, as well. "

"A GREAT marinade for beef, and coupled with skirt steak, it's a staple on my grill. You can't beat it."
