"This chili really isn't that spicy, but it is good. We really like lamb and I was looking for some different ways to prepare it. Found this recipe on www.americanlamb.com and have adapted it to fit my allergies. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did."

I substituted garbanzo beans. More authentically Greek.

This is an excellent recipe--it has great flavor. We all liked it. It wasn't too spicy, even with the full 1/2 tsp. of crushed red pepper. I put it together on the stove, but then had to go out, so I put it in the oven at 250 degrees for about an hour to finish. It worked great. We will definitely have this again.
