I was a little dissapointed with this recipe. Firstly, the amount of Campari recommended dominated the gravy and made it quite umpleasanly bitter. I added more orange juice to counter this, but next time I will be making it without the Campari. Secondly, it took longer than 35 minutes to cook the lamb until it was meduim rare, but 35 minutes was the estimate for well done. Finally the butter and flour roux didn't combine very well with the gravy.
