      I didn't have 2 cans of chickpeas so I used chickpeas and kidney beans and my tahini was a bit sketchy so I used peanut butter instead. This was DELICIOUS! I almost sauteed my onion like someone else suggested but at the last minute threw it in raw and I'm glad I did. It adds just enough bite but keeps the dish tasting very fresh. I will make this again and again.

      Definitely comfort food. I added a small amount of finely chopped kale just because it's what i had. Added a little soy and lemon as other recommended. Added a little pepper flake because I like a little heat. My youngest commented that it tasted like lasagna and most of my family had 2nd's. I will make this again.

      We loved it! I followed the recipe exactly except my rice was white Jasmati that I had cooked with chicken bouillon which made the meal no longer vegan. This was so quick and easy too! Not to mention healthy! (Next time I'll go for brown rice, I promise.) Oh and I halved the recipe and baked it in a 9x9 pan for about 30-35 minutes. I only needed 1/2 Tbs. sesame seeds so I rubbed them off of some crackers I had so I wouldn't have to go to the store. haha Thank you!!!

      I did as others did, doubled the spices and tahini. Very good. I liked it a lot, but it seems to need a little something that I can't put my finger on. I'd like to try it throwing in some peas for a little sweetness next time. There's a vegetarian/vegan group that meets for potluck dinners every couple months here and i do believe this is what I'll be bringing next month. Thanks a bunch!

      This is a wonderful dish, creamy, hearty and tasty! Do note step 6 though, I found this needed quite a lot of salt. I added just a dash (as I usually do with vegetable dishes, if I don't omit it altogether) and I had to sprinkle on quite a lot more when this was on my plate - but this is obviously the "to taste" part! I omitted the sesame seeds as I didn't have any. I can't wait to tinker this to perfection spice-wise and wow my vegetarian friends! This also makes quite a lot, the 6 servings are so generous that I think you can stretch them to 8! Thank you for posting this, Christine!

      Delicious! I was amazed at how creamy it was without dairy. My 3 year old ate 2nd and 3rds.

      I really wanted to like this more. The flavors are very basic. I followed the recipe besides that I doubled the tahini-water mixture based on advice from previous reviews. I should have also listened to other reviewers and sauteed the onion, because it was actually still very crunchy & almost raw in the finished dish. It is a very affordable dish and makes a LOT. It is definitely not bad by any means, but I at the same time nothing stood out about it that would make me want to try it again.

      This was delicious! I didn't have the full amount of rice, so ended up only using half the rice. But I did double the tahini as everyone suggested. I think that for me, I should have sauteed the onion (gastric problems) or else maybe the tiny onion I used was super strong lol. Totally delicious! Thank you.

      Very delish! Added some extra spices as suggested and my grandson asked to take home the leftovers!

      My new favourite food. Was looking for something quick to throw in the oven and stumbled on this. I pretty much followed the recipe except added more spices and whole tomatos as I didn't have chopped. Will make again and again.

      It was pretty good. I made it with grilled onions instead of raw. I liked it, but I wasn't thrilled. All in all, a pretty good vegan comfort food, and I would make it again, maybe with raw onions next time. It went really well with a little bit of Sriracha.

      my family met this with mixed reviews. i liked it, but my DW did not care for it all that much. it was one of those things she said she would eat periodically as a side dish, but if i didnt make it again, it would be ok. i liked it although i would have liked it to have been a bit creamier then it was.

      Great recipe. I added some onions and red peppers to this before putting it in the oven. I love chick peas, but I wanted something to break up the texture a little bit. Thanks.

      I was totally looking forward to making this casserole while my vegetarian sister in law was visiting our family. It was good, but next time I will certainly add more tahini, I just found there wasn't enough. But there will certainly be a next time! Thanks for posting!

      I'm gonna have to agree with most of the other reviews and say this is outstanding! I doubled the tahini, onion, and spices but kept the rest the same and added the lemon juice per other reviews. This is something I'll definitely be making often.

      Very nice meal, will definitely make again. Next time I will double the spices to make it more flavourful or use fresh spices.

      Great! I very much enjoyed this recipe and will make it often -- it's so easy! Taking the advice of other reviewers, I added a splash of lemon juice, a couple tablespoons tomato paste and about a tablespoon of nutritional yeast. End result was quite tasty! Now that I've tried it almost as listed, I'm already thinking of variations. It would be easy to spice up with some chili peppers, or maybe add some Indian touches. I love the versatility that this is going to give me. Healthy, easy and delicious, it just doesn't get any better!
