Made this tonight for dinner and it was great. Not a huge fan of ginger so we left that out. I also could not find the pepper at our local store, which wasnt a big thing cause the lady is not a huge fan of really spicy food. Instead I used Chipolte chile powder which add a nice kind of smoky flavor to it. I think I will cut back on the cinnamon though I think it over powered the dish but still overall really good!!!

these kabobs go perfectly with the rice from the episode. One time we found we didn't have cucumber and substituted bok choy and were surprised with a sweeter salsa to cut the spice, we've been making it that way ever since. love this recipe
