Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, try using lamb shoulder instead of leg. You can also add in other vegetables, such as chopped carrots or bell peppers, to the pot during the cooking process. Don't skip the step of browning the lamb before adding it to the pot - this helps to develop a rich flavor in the dish. Finally, be sure to use good quality spices for the best flavor. Enjoy!
