  Didn't quite get the sticky glaze right and had a burnt on mess on the roasting tin but the lamb was very tasty and went well with the couscous and salad as per Moroccan feast Good Food mag Jan 2013.

  Great recipe, but I am still cleaning the sticky, burnt glaze from my baking dish, any suggestions? Would definitely do again, but next time would line the tray with foil for the last 1/2hr (after adding the reduced glaze).

  Cooked as an alternative to my normal roast lamb and so glad I did as its truly wonderful. Bags of flavour and leftovers excellent cold. Served it with the apricot couscous on the site.

  Delicious and easy. Used a whole leg of lamb which I had in the freezer and it worked very well. Went with mashed potatoes not couscous but still great.

  This was a brilliant for a big New Year's Eve party. Very easy to cook really except I found the sticky glaze very hard and so improvised by adding brown sugar and making it a sweet gravy and cooking it in that for an extra hour on a low heat. It worked a treat and seemed to be veteran tasty to all. I also went for the 48 hour marinade time which I think made a difference. It was part of a stupendous bring and share buffet so I did not do much else to accompany it except for some simple couscous and a yogurt and pomegranate dip. I would really recommend doing this... Don't be out off by the time or anything!

  I'm planning on trying this one for a dinner party at the weekend, it looks lovely... Can anyone tell me how strong the lemon is in this recipe? After reading, it looks like you blend a whole lemon? And one of my guests isn't too keen on them!

  Gorgeous! Made this weekend for friends as part of the Moroccan buffet in the Jan 2013 magazine. Was amazing. I added some cornflower to help thicken the sauce and it was fine, a brilliant and dead easy dish that's packed with flavour

  Really delicious. Agree that the sauce would take more than 30 mins to thicken. Poured mine on a bit too runny still and consequently it didn't stick to the lamb properly and although the onions were delicious and sticky the lamb wasn't. Meat still tasted beautiful though and was really tender

  I made this for 8 people on Mothers Day. It was fantastic. I used double the receipe and had no problems. The syrup poured over at the end made the lamb sweet and succulent. I loved this receipe.
