My husband and I just loved this recipe. He was impressed that I was cooking Middle Eastern. He thought I spent all day in the kitchen. Ha ha. I sure did fool him. This recipe was so easy I felt like I was cooking Hamburger Helper. But, way more tastier. And, like another comment said; my stewed tomatoes didn't have much liquid so I also added water. Next time I think I might add some tomato sauce and a little water. To give it more tomato taste. I was unsure about the yogurt but it gave it more of a creamy texture. I am definitely making this again.
