I made this for Hubby and Little Miss (DD). (I don't eat red meat so I made Recipe #226157 for myself). Both hubby and Little Miss really enjoyed the flavour. Hubby said the lamb was very tender and had the right amount of spice. Served it with wilted spinach and cous cous. Thanks so much for posting your recipe The Flying Chef
