  1. Very nice. I made it with stewing lamb in the slow cooker. Found the flavours a bit muddy, so added some fresh coriander to try and clear things up. Served over cous cous. A yummy meal, thanks for sharing this :)
     
  2. Excellent! Indeed an easy recipe and a crowd pleaser :) Couple of possible variations: - use perl onions instead of chopped. Brown them slightly before garlic and ginger. Add browned lamb after that. - A handfull or two of golden raisins could also add some sweetness. - I also tried blood oranges, nice kick..
     
  3. Lovely flavours and quick to make. I did add just one whole clove to give it an extra bite.
     
  4. Lovely subtle flavours great with rice. Easily prepared on friday for sunday lunch leaving steps 9-12 till the day. May be interesting to cook in slow cooker
     
  5. This was a very tasty stew and was quick to assemble (once I boned out the lamb). I did add plenty more fresh ground black pepper which was great with the orange flavours, and I would like to add some toasted almonds next time I make it.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain.
