Didn't have fresh tomatoes used canned diced instead. This recipe even my husband loved! (And he hates everything) Will use this recipe to help the garden veggies' overflow when the season comes along.
I loved this recipe. The interesting use of veggies make it not only delicious but a beautiful presentation! Highly recommend.
I took advice from some of the other "posters" and added in whatever vege's I had here. Bad idea! Turnips and parsnips were lousy in it. Stick with the basic stewing vege's and you'll probably be o.k.
This recipe was wonderful! Very easy to follow and delicious to boot! Am serving this dish to guests next weekend! Thank you Juanita?!
A good way to use up the last veggies from my garden. I shredded the zucchini to fool my daughter into eating it and had to add a little more chicken broth when adding the veggies. The only thing I would change when making this again is to add some onion. Thanks Juanita/Jane
Incredible... but did make some changes sauteed some chopped bacon and onions in the oil then dredged the lamb in smoked paprika and rosemary - for more of a smokey taste. Also did not add the potatoes as I served this over brown rice and I braised the casserole in the oven instead of stove top.
When I made this I had less lamb than I thought only about 3/4lb but this still turned out good (although I definitely would use the full amount of meat next time!). For the tomatoes I used 2 cans of undrained diced tomatoes to save time. When I added the potatoes and other vegetables I added some extra liquid because I was worried about there being enough to cover the potatoes adequately. I then added a bit extra oregano to balance out the extra liquid. This of course made it a little more soupy than stewy so I pureed some of the vegetables after they were cooked and dumped them back in to thicken everything up. The only other change I would make is to use less parsley maybe only 2 tablespoons because I felt there was too much.
I make a slightly different version of this excellent recipe. The only veggies I use are pearl onions (par boiled with ends cut off) red potatoes and carrots. Also I use beef broth and a tablespoon of tomato paste. Simple but tdf
Followed this to the letter! A keeper for sure!
