Worked well with chicken stock, didn't have lamb stock and wanted more flavor than just water.

Used leg of lamb steak, and used a stick of cinnamon that was ground in a spice grinder.

Fabulous even with plain brown rice.

Very easy to prepare and very delicious to eat. Added carrots, used chicken broth and yellow raisins. A winner.

Tasty one pot stew. Halved the lamb and added a variety of root vegetables
