    Delicious but make sure you use real Harissa not the pretend stuff available in supermarkets. This is probably why some people found it bland. I made this mistake first time I made it and was ok but next time I made it I used halal lamb and proper tunisian Harissa and the difference was amazing! Recommend chopping up fresh coriander with the fresh parsely to add at the end. It's now a firm favourite!

    This is absolutely delish!! we didn't have an ovenware dish with a lid so just stuck some foil over the top! Have tried with neck fillet too but diced lamb worked just as well. Bit of a lengthy mid-week meal but it was worth it! Lovely with rice, its become a regular in our house! love it!

    This such a simple dish to put together and the outcome is absolutely fantastic - my husband and I both enjoyed it and it's definitely going to be one of our regulars.

    This is absolutely delicious and something different. I've made it twice now and once in the slow cooker which also worked well. Go easy on the harissa - it can be spicier than you think!

    Delicious - had to tweak the recipe slightly. Used courgette instead of aubergine , chopped red chilli instead of Harissa and added grated lemon rind as well as the juice. Lovely combination of flavours. I served it with ciabatta to mop up the tasty sauce. I'll definitely be making this again

    I used tappenade in place of the harissa. Probably the best lamb casserole I have cooked or tasted. Stunning. Go with the lemon juice, it really adds a lightness to this dish.

    Made my own version of harissa - based on the ingredients. Loved it! Had it with chapatis, soured cream and lettuce
