"From our weekday newspaper The West Australian. The recipe has mint in it which I do not like so I would sub parsley. Since making this and when I did I did a half recipe but when assembling the ingredients I discover no dried cranberries so used sultanas instead and did omit the mint and used extra parsley as I am not a fan of mint and made as per the recipe but strongly advise to serve with the tzatziki otherwise the filling is very dry to eat and if you are not a fan of yoghurt I think sour cream may work."
