This was excellent. I used lamb stew meat and cut the chunks in half. Very good. Not too hot despite all the jalapenos.

I love lamb and used whole chops for this recipe I sprinkled a little berbere spice on them right before they were finished cooking. Thanks for sharing this nice recipe, Dreamer. Made for CQ4.

I used lamb chops (not beef). And normally I'm not usually one who goes for lamb, but it really worked well in this recipe. The berbere spice mix gave it a bit of heat and flavor, but it added a bit of sweetness too that seemed to take out that "gamey" taste that I detect in lamb. It was really a nice recipe (and very quick and easy to make, too), and I'm glad I made it. The next time my family wants lamb, I'll turn to this recipe. Thanks, Dreamer. Made for Culinary Quest 2017 (Ethiopia).

I made this using a lamb tenderloin and red onion. The berbere is really good and I added it liberally because we like our spicy. I don't love lamb, but I really liked it this way. Thank you! Made for CQ '17.
