Used bones and scraps from previous lamb dinners. Didn't use any tomato. Added crushed garlic clove, a few dried mushrooms, and black peppercorns. Pressure cooked on high about 80 mins. Result was dark and flavorful but a bit too strong of cumin. And needs reduction.
I appreciate NYT lamb stock recipes. I married into a large greek family and we have alot of get togethers. Please don't delete them.
