Back to TopI wanted to like this dish, hoping for a savoury blend of North African flavours, but the result did not satisfy.

As much as I wanted to like this, and I do like lamb, I did not enjoy this dish. However I guess my wife did.

Wow, this was all kinds of delicious! The ginger, rosemary and orange marry beautifully with the lamb. I made a couple of minor changes but otherwise as written: I added 3 medium chopped Yukon potatoes with the carrots to give some more thickness and body and therefore bumped up the stock to 1 cup. I used (lamb) shoulder chops because it was the cut I was trying to use up with a stew recipe. I used ~1/2 c rough chopped apricots in place of the dates - I love apricots with lamb and the subtle sweet-tart notes are perfect in the stew. Instead of slow cooking for 1.5 hours I pressure cooked (Instant Pot, 20 mins on high with 15 mins of natural release, then manually released the rest). The stew was thick and rich and the citrus kept it hearty without being heavy. The lamb was so tender I shredded it easily with a fork. Can't wait to get my hands on some more shoulder chops so I can make it again!

I really liked this recipe, although I had to use beef instead of lamb.

Made exactly as specified and it was delicious--and incredible balance of flavors. Served with pearl couscous. A few things: 1) Be aware of the type of oranges you're using. I used Valencia, which are sweeter and juicier than others, which made the stew a tad too orangey. When I prepare it again I'll use another type of orange, or less of it. 2) Watch the fat content of the lamb. I was given shoulder by the butcher and ended up removing about a handful of fat, and I'm glad I did, as the result is still quite rich. 3) Cut the carrot into larger pieces than you see in the photo, if you want a touch of firmness--you can always keep cooking if you prefer softer carrots, as the lamb will be fine with extra time.

This recipe was easy and outstanding. Added more broth while cooking and added in some dried apricots. Will definitely make again!

The flavors in this recipe were amazing. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I did make a few changes. I only used 2 cups of carrots, which was plenty. I deglazed the veggies with red wine, 1 cup total, and added an additional, 1 cup of water. I also added a bunch of greens (Swiss chard, beet green, etc), but the stew was delicious before the addition of the greens. Served with naan.

Followed recipe except used stew meat and cooked 2 hrs. Excellent and well balanced. Be sure to keep an eye on the liquid level; you want enough sauce for the couscous or noodles you serve it on.
