Wow! My family loved this stew, even the kids! I think we had one serving left at the end of dinner. I did toss the lamb in the spice mixture then brown it over medium-high heat in two batches in a non-stick 12" skillet with about a teaspoon of vegtable oil per batch. I also forgot to put the cilantro in--darn it, now I have a bunch of cilantro to figure out what to do with. We will definitely make this again.2Reply

What a great blend of flavors! This was a nice change of pace, and extremely easy to prepare. The cilantro really made the dish. 10 hours on low was a bit too long, so I recommend a shorter cooking time. My husband and teen-age boys were less than thrilled with the stew so I probably won't make again. If I do I'll add more cumin and cayenne.1Reply
