ingredients
- 4 boneless lamb steaks, boneless, trimmed of all visible fat
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 ounces dried apricot halves
- 14 fluid ounces low sodium chicken broth
- 1⁄2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
directions
- Sprinkle both sides of the lamb evenly with the garlic salt and pepper, warm a large non-stick pan (with a lid for use later) over a medium heat until hot, add the lamb and brown on both sides.
- Add the stock and the apricots to a medium pan, over a high heat, and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the apricots are very soft.
- Reserve half of the apricots and set aside.
- Transfer the other half of the apricots and all of the stock to a blender or food processor, add the vinegar, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and nutmeg, and blend to make the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the lamb, sprinkle the reserved apricots over the lamb and, over a low heat, simmer the lamb for 10-15 minutes or until the lamb is cooked through.
- Serve with steamed green vegetables andyour favourite mashed potato recipe. I'd recommend Bergy’s Irish Mashed Potatoes #10974, which are beautifully creamy but also low in calories.

A recipe that is good for you, delicious and quick/easy to make definitely rates 5*'s in my book. The apricot sauce adds an amazing flavor to the lamb, and I'm already wondering how this would taste on chicken prepared in a similiar fashion. I saved this dish in my cookbooks to make for my lamb loving daughter and SIL. We really liked this Bluemoondownunder!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
