Ooo this looks very sexy indeed


As an expat. Aussie & lover of Australian lamb (Costco stores sell it, bless their hearts) this recipe jumped out at me with the "chook stock" reference. My Seppo husband absolutely LOVED it, as of course, did I. Good job Luv.


G'day Ronib Thanks for your comment. And for the heads up about Costco. I get fresh organic lamb from our farmer's market, but I'll have to check out what Costco carries too.

Cooked this dish in a 325(F)oven for two hours with excellent results. Also, forgot to buy cinnamon stick; ground cinnamon subbed well.
