    I made this with new potatoes - delicious! I didn't think lemon would suit this recipe so left it out but other than that, followed the recipe exactly as it is. Recommended.

    This turned out really well. I followed the recipe as it is, apart from putting a little less harissa in because I don't like my food to be too spicy. I served with rice and some spring greens, the lamb and aubergines were both lovely and soft. Will definately make this again.

    Very good - easy to do, I liked the lemon addition, it lightens up the flavour.

    Searched for lamb and aubergine, as I had two aubergines. This was great, I found it fairly spicy with the 2 tblsps of harissa, so would be slow to add more, unless you want a REAL kick. THis is a great recipe.

    This was really good...I made it with couscous(mixed with some lemon juice, oil, fresh parsley and lots of fresh coriander), i also added lots of coriander to the lamb dish. It was amazing. Mine was a little too hot so I added some cream to reduce the "hotness"!

    Very tasty for a midweek 'quick to throw together' meal. I used two tbsp of harissa and didn't notice it being spicy.. Served it up with rice. Lovely. (packet of diced lamb was much cheaper than lamb neck fillets and was nice and tender after it was cooked).

    Have made this a couple of times using my own harissa the second time as I also found it a little bland initially but added tomato puree and extra spices (found in harissa). Very easy and impressive
