Note It

We are big fans of Greek food over here at our house and this dish definitely has a bit of Greek influence to it. I enjoyed the whole dish but Jeremy isn't a big fan of sweet so he would've preferred the yogurt sauce was more like tzatziki. Next time we want to try this in pitas and I will also reduce or skip on the honey in the yogurt sauce.
