Cook's Notes
The amounts of garlic powder and spices are correct for this highly seasoned Middle Eastern entrée.
A crisp tossed salad and warm pita bread are nice additions for this ethnic dish, and raisins and chutney are traditional condiments to top it off.
If you can't find pine nuts in the grocery store, use pecans.
