Description:

We didn't have dill when we made this, but I imagine it's better with it. Dill is great. Most recipes I saw called for fresh dill, but one said that you could substitute with dried, but that you should use less.

Original recipe said that you could add 1 tbsp mint if you wanted to. No idea how I feel about that.

You don't have to bother peeling the cucumbers before grating them.

This recipe makes more than you'd need for a meal for two, so feel free to halve the ingredients if it makes sense.

She added the ground meat. The original recipe didn't give a temperature to set the oven to, but we did 350 since it seemed standard. It also said to bake it in tinfoil for 1/2 an hour and then put it back in, but it didn't say for how long while uncovered. I thought maybe an equivalent time, but it was done earlier. The link is a video by someone with ADHD, so the inconsistency makes sense. The simpli...
