Just made this for Rosh HaShana.
I really wanted to like this recipe, but the spice amounts (especially the pepper) are all off and the meat ended up being so spicy that it made the dish inedible, which is such a shame because the dish had so much potential. I would make it again, but I would really decrease the amount of pepper which is what ruined the dish and cut the rest of the spices in half. I request that the recipe creator to modify the recipe properly.
a bit too much tomato paste . i would recommend using 3/4 of the tube.
Overall good! But a bit too dense.
The spice amounts are way too much. Sadly had to throw it out.
I agree. Way too spicy bec of pepper
Can this be frozen?
so good!!
