It was good, but really acidic with all of the tomatoes and lemon. When I make this again I'm going to need to add a lot of sugar to make it less tart. The flavors otherwise were great!

Husband and son loved it. served with sourdough bread and a small serving of egg noodles after I saw how saucy it was. Followed other reviews and doubled the spinach and added mushrooms. pretty versatile dish to add other things to make it your own.

excellent recipe! hearty and zesty. we used half of a lemon for juice and zest, doubled the spinach. Very very tasty with crusty baguette! recommended to slice your feta block thin. thank you for this amazing recipe!

This dish was fun. My kids weren’t crazy about it but did try it, and were interested in the feta. I used a very large lemon so in the future I’d use half of that much zest and juice. I’d have enjoyed 2-3 times the amount of feta. I added mushrooms which was a really good call, I liked them! I wish the crusty bread had been in the ingredients list because it’s a crucial part of this really, but fortunately we could make do by toasting sliced sourdough.

Turned out great! Will add more spinach next time I make it. My daughter and I both liked the lemony taste.

Really delicious! A total crowd pleaser and ate it with toasted sourdough! My whole family loved it! I did swap out the feta for mozzarella and used Rotel in place of the canned tomatoes (just what I had in the pantry). I did use less lemon juice after reading the reviews as well. And I should note it was super day to make, especially on a day I really didn’t feel like cooking! I highly recommend it! But be careful if you have a sensitive stomach because it does have high fiber and can be heavy on the GI

Wife was obsessed with this dish! We cooked off a lot of the sauce though, otherwise it would’ve been way too much!

Served over egg noodles. Amazing dinner if you’re a lemon fan. Easy to add cooked chicken breast or shrimp if you want additional protein

Really tasty and so easy to make. I doubled the chickpea quantity and bread is a must to go with it. Added a bit more chili flakes for extra flavour too

First thing I made from Yummly, and it was AMAZING! I am a very new cook. (literally I didn't know if this would be a side dish or the main meal!) I still can't believe I made something that tastes this good! I made another Yummly Recipe the next night! This site has so many things that I have been looking for for years!
Thank you Yummly!! (And I would eat this as the main dish anyday.) <3

I like that they used whole cans of ingredients. It’s also really simple to make. It’s more soupy than l expected to be but other than that l liked it.

Great recipe. My 15-year-old son made it for the family for dinner. It was delicious!

Great but definitely need to sub out some lemon and maybe some of the tomatoes mine turned out a little too watery
Rachael 2 months ago
This was really good! The only thing I did differently was add brown sugar to taste (to even out the acidity), nix the lemon juice and only used the zest, and used canned diced tomatoes. Served over bread but would be great with noodles, too!

My meat-loving husband gave two thumbs up! I think this is a new staple!

Not bad but not that great. Also, way too much lemon, we took the advice of a reviewer and only used half the lemon and it was still too lemony.
Brandon Reinkensmeyer 2 months ago
Not bad but I recommend some broccoli or cauliflower. Also, use only half a lemon.

So, so good!! I added onion, green pepper & mushrooms. Also a Mediterranean spice blend because a few comments stated it tasted bland. Thank you for this tasty recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. I will definitely make this again. I wish the "crusty bread to serve" had made it into the ingredients list and therefore my shopping list because then it would have been perfect.

Loved this, I replaced the spinach with frozen green beans and served with brown rice. Will definitely make again, and its a great winter meal
