Best recipe I've ever found. I made it last thanksgiving and now my family and I make it all the time! It's a must try!
P.S. In my opinion, it doesn't necessarily have to have the yogurt sauce, but I think the tangy flavor adds depth to the dish.

This was simply outstanding. Like the previous reviewer, I too wondered if the recipe "needed" the Greek yogurt and lemon sauce dolloped on top, but I make it a rule to follow recipes to the letter the first time, feeling we owe it to the recipe and to ourselves to experience the dish as intended before we start tinkering. After mentally pooh-poohing the sauce beforehand, I was chagrined to be blown away by it upon first bite, especially in concert with the caraway seeds. DO NOT leave anything out of this recipe. Sure, it would be "good" without, but the sauce ties it all together and puts it over the top. This is one of those recipes that is much more than the sum of its parts. I am an experienced cook of many decades, and can't remember the last time I've come across a recipe I've been so excited about. I could have made twice as much, and guests – children included – still would have been scraping their plates.

This was a complete crowd pleaser! I omitted the yogurt and lemon juice sauce, because I didn't think the recipe needed it. Perhaps a sprinkling of fresh lemon juice might brighten the pancetta, onion, caraway seed, olive oil a bit. However, my family and guests devoured them with my recipe modifications....There wasn't a bean left in the platter when dinner was done. This recipe will definitely be added to my repertoire!
