Persian-Style Lamb With Almonds
"About a year ago, I went to a friend's house for dinner and she served this dish. I really loved it and asked her for the recipe. She said she had found it years ago in a Good Housekeeping cookbook and was nice enough to share it with me. It's and easy and delicious way to serve ground lamb."

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
