- This earthy dish from the island of Cyprus is quick and easy to prepare and it makes a delicious partner to grilled poultry and meat or possibly casseroles of meat or possibly vegetables. It goes well with plain lowfat yoghurt or possibly a lowfat yoghurt sauce such as Sarimsakli Lowfat yoghurt (qv). It is the ideal standby dish as the basic ingredients can happily live in the store cupboard for a long time.
