    The first recipe I have tried on this site as I found it while surfing for something different to do with the 6 lamb shoulder chops I had just bought rater than griddle them. Certainly brightened up a miserable winters day...the cumin and lemon was wonderful. I tweaked things a little as I had more chops...providing roughly half as much veg again but doubled the tomatoes and used a whole lemon. As I was unsure when I would be serving up I put the casserole in the oven for a couple of hours on very low...it was wonderful...and very well received by my wife.thanks a lot...will definitely use this again!

    I really like this recipe, Michael - I love the complexity of the flavors and I can only imagine the depth that the simmering brings. Interesting composition...it's like the perfect comfort food but lifted to a higher level - and that is where the soul and spirit (as you mentioned) gets sustenance, too. And the mint chiffonade at the end is genious.

    Anyone would feel most fortunate to be the guest at this meal....

    Thanks for sharing and inspiring, m'dear...
