"Have made this twice and am a little disappointed after reading all the good reviews. It is very easy to make but I found it far too sweet, not spicy enough and the smoked paprika a little overpowering. The second time I made it I cut down on the sugar and on the paprika, increased the chilli and varied the beans which was much better but I still found that the dish lacked depth."

"This is worth making for the novelty but it wasn't really to my taste although my partner loved it. I think I would enjoy a small portion as a starter but a whole bowlful is a bit much!"

"Gorgeous salad. We had it with the crispy greek pie also on this site. The salad dressing is perfect and goes so well with the beetroot. I have also used the dressing on beetroot with grilled goat's cheese which makes a lovely starter."

"Gorgeous dish. I didn't have yoghurt in but it was fine without. Made it as a main meal with spaghetti, spinach and garlic bread. Unusual and delicious!"

"I had some fresh spinach that needed using up so placed this in the bottom of a large casserole dish, put the tomato sauce on top and then layered the courgettes, sliced tomatoes and cheese on top (mixture of cheddar and parmesan as didn't have any gruyere). I was sure that it was going to be too watery and lack flavour but not at all, it was really delicious and my partner loved it. Reducing the tomato sauce sufficiently is key to the depth of flavour, I think. I didn't have fresh basil in so used dried. The sauce was zinging with flavour. Great, cheap nutritious dish which I am sure I will make again and again."
