We had this for dinner tonight and it was superb...however I couldn't get my hands on lemon thyme so i used regular and added a little lemon juice..I can't wait to try it with lemon thyme. I tried this after you posted it in the forum. Cheers

The lamb was tendor, however, the potatoes didn't soak up all of the stock. I had to drain off two whole cups, and it was still runny. Not sure what went wrong, but not something I would make again. Sorry! Maybe the recipe was missing a step.
