This was such a great recipe-super fast and really tasty to boot! I used half the amount of lamb (shoulder chops we boned out) but all the sauce and a bit more silverbeet. Like Peggy, I seasoned my lamb well with salt and pepper. I'm not a fan of sultanas so used craisins instead. Why would get takeaways when you can throw this and the couscous together in minutes! -
Superb recipe for lamb, and so quick and easy to make. I kept thinking I should be adding some onion or garlic, but didn't. I'm glad I restrained myself. The only thing it needed -- for our tastes -- was salt and ground pepper. I used a thick Greek yogurt and the leaves of a bunch of English spinach. I started the recipe in mid-afternoon, and turned the heat off and covered the pan as soon as I added the chopped spinach. Finished everything off later when dinnertime was approaching. Thank you so much for posting a recipe I will use again and again. -
absolutely fabulous! used leg chops, got the butcher to cut the meat into strips. Used baby spinach. Everything else to the recipe and I wouldnt change a thing, I think I will be making this a lot!!
