  I tried this recipe and it was nice, BUT as I made it for the whole family (small children included) I didn't put too much harissa in. This made it taste very lamby rather than a mixture of fruits of spices. Next time I will try seasoning the lamb with some rubbing spices before cooking - this will give the meat a warm tasty flavour rather than hot and spicy.

  My daughters made this (age 12 & 9) with total success. Haven't used harissa paste before but enjoyed this very very much. Will certainly do again.

  Used this recipe often. Still have the original magazine. Use more harisa than recommended as we like it spicy.

  This meal was quick and easy to prepare...and it tastes just great! Very warming and extremely filling. I'll use more harissa paste next time, even though, this time, I did increase the amount from the recipe having read the comments of others.

  Absolutely delicious! Quick and easy. I used the left over meat and stock from a leg of lamb and it worked just as well.

  Very easy to do but beautiful flavours, great to warm you up on a cold dark evening, feels very indulgent but isnt too heavy on the calories, I'd recommend everyone give this a try!

  Really great recipe, I didn t have any harissa in, so made a home type version of tharisa, with what I had in, was lacking the mint, and it was still a really lovely dish, full of flavours. Looking forward to trying it will all the ingredients, yum.
