These were really tasty.. this made a nice light refreshing dinner. My hubby to me to make this often. Next time I will change the amount of mint and only add about half the amount called for and might increase the cilantro. I could not taste the cilantro at all... just mint. My 9yr son really liked the whole meal too.

Very tasty- I gave 4 stars because I think the cayenne pepper needs to be reduced to fit my kids palate. The tomato relish is very good but I would reduce amt of balsamic to 2 Tbs. Everything else is great!

My husband absolutely loved it, (loves hot and I did too, but will use less Ceyenne next time. He said it was perfect. I loved the combo of the herbed greek yogurt with the spicy rub and the sweet jam...Yum!!! I followed recipe just as it said, and it was more than awesome. Cilantro is one of my faves, although not overbearing in the yogurt. Overall, excellent!!!!! Great job, Bobby.
