This recipe is a hit 100% of the time. My mother-in-law loves Greek food and a few years back we were trying to come up with a dish for her 65th birthday dinner and i came across this recipe. We had about 35 people over and it was a hit across the board! Still get requests when people visit. We cook ours on the pellet smoker is the only change I've made, and the added smokiness is excellent.
