A tasty side that also made a simple meal when served over whole wheat couscous. I really enjoyed the spice blend and look forward to using it in other dishes, even as a spice over popcorn. Want to try this with sauteed zucchini allowing for a bit of caramelization. Thanks. Made for the I recommend Tag Game.

This was a very nice spice blend. I thought it had a great balance of flavors with the heat coming in as an "after thought". The cinnamon and cumin were my favorites I will probably leave the zucchini raw and slice it very thin next time I make this, I just didn't care for it to be blanched, which is just a personal preferance. Made for PAC spring 09.

We love this salad, especially the spice paste, which I'll try on other veggie combos. The only change I made was to cut back on the cayenne.

This is quite nice, but I would halve the amount of cayenne next time-I think it overpowered the other ingredients in the spice paste. I only made half the spice paste as I couldn't think what I could do in the near future with extra of it. nAfter taking a photo of the dish, I felt it needed some herbs so added mint and parsley to it and I think that really gave it a lift.
