This is a great recipe. Very garlicky and very lemony. I actually added about 1/4 packet of stevia to cut the tartness slightly. I don't like raw onion, so I used red pepper instead, and the flavors went well together. I only marinated it for about 45 minutes, and it came out just fine (but even better the next day). The only thing I'd change is I'd use more cilantro. I think this would be good with black olives and fresh tomatoes in addition to the sundried. Oh, and it was very easy to prepare--bonus!

Used regular tomatoes instead of sundried. This was great. Very tasty and low in fat.

This was so-so to me. The flavor was tangy but not as tasty as I expected. I think I wanted heartier spices with chickpeas, but I don't know which ones.
