This was a fast and easy meal. I made it yesterday for dinner and We all loved it. The key to this cut of meat is not to over cook it or else ,as others stated, it will become tough. I truly loved this marinade. I had never used yogurt this way and will do so with other cuts of meat as it is FANTASTIC. As for the couscous, I also added a chopped onion with the garlic and will definitely cut back of the red pepper flakes next time because it was just a little too spicy for us. As Sandra always says "a recipe is just an idea, the base, they can be altered in any way to make them your own." The entire meal was Marvelous and I will be making it again and again. Can't wait for round 2, which i ame sure is going to be Magnificent!

This is the first recipe I tried from Sandra Lee. I was a little hesitant about making this meal. I have to say, my ENTIRE family loved it which is amazing! Sandra is obviously a magician!! My husband and I have three daughters with three very different palettes and they all loved the meal. I cheated on the amounts and saved a little extra meat for the round two recipe (to make for dinner for 5 instead of lunch for 2. Everybody loved the pitas as much as they loved the kebabs! BRILLIANT!! I am so tired of wasted food and am thrilled to find Sandra's money saving recipes with the added bonus of being able to turn the leftovers into another meal. I have her bacon and mushroom quiche in the oven right now. Will let you know how that one goes!
