Thought it was good, but probably wouldn't prepare it again.

I followed the directions as listed and it was a hit. It will have a permanent place in my recipe collection. I put the mixture in an 8x8 because I didn't have a pie tin and it was almost like a kugel. I will double the recipe next time.

There was a bit too much garlic for my taste and I added some cumin. I wasnt crazy about the texture. All in all it was ok and I will make it again, maybe with some alterations. Definitely appreciated another wheat and dairy free recipe.
