    This turned out fantastic! So much better than I anticipated. I used black olives instead of kalamata because my son doesn’t like them. I tend to eyeball the spices, so it was borderline too spicy, but the cinnamon, sugar, and hot flakes complemented each other perfectly. Most definitely a keeper. Thanks!

    This was an easy dinner to make on a busy weekend. My family loved it.

    I made this and loved the recipe. I used fire roasted tomatoes and, because I didn't have fresh or dried parsley, opted for dried basil and oregano. Otherwise, I followed it pretty much exactly with wonderful and flavorful results. For those familiar with Greek cooking, it tastes very much like pastitsou without the beschemel sauce topping. I love this dish and will be making it again!
