  Family loved this, only complaint was that they wanted seconds and there wasn't any left! Served with couscous and broccoli as suggested. Have laminated as I think I will be cooking this often.

  I wasn't overly impressed with this as it reduced too much and the remaining mixture was a pale brown colour and not very appetising looking - perhaps I did something wrong? It tasted ok but I probably wouldn't make it again.

  We thought this was gorgeous. the lamb was very tender and the herbs and spice went so well together. Would definately do this again.

  Amazing results for me - despite forgetting to buy an orange (I used Five Alive juice as it was all I had!) and thinking I had ground almonds when I didn't (just left it out, and my other half doesn't eat nuts anyway). The lamb just fell apart, and apricots had gone all gooey and soft after half an hour in the pot, and it was all just sticky, minty goodness. I will definitely be making this again!

  Made this last night and everyone loved it! Made no substitutes, but added a bit more ground almonds to thicken the sauce. Quite sweet, so don't overdo the honey or apricots if you don't like it sweet. I also chopped the apricots a little. I cooked it slightly less long (20 mins less than the time indicated) because the lamb was already very tender. Tasty, and easy to prepare meal. Love it! I served it with mixed greens and plain couscous.

  I have made this a couple of times, and it has always been yummy! I left out the honey and used less apricots, but the stew was still very sweet. I also substituted cinnamon sticks with ground cinnamon, and this worked well.

  This dish is simply lovely. Everyone i have cooked this for has raved about it and asked for the recipe. As it is not spicy even my v fussy children ate it! I used less apricots than suggested and cut them into quarters but otherwise perfect. Great for dinner parties as you can make it in the morning and heat it up just before serving. Highly reccomended.

  I love this recipe. I didn't have any honey and was worried when doing my mid-way taste test thinking I had overdone the orange!!! But all came good in the end and it was so tasty. Will be making this again very soon!

  Having read the other reviews I reduced the amount of stock (600ml) and left out the honey. Used Waitrose frozen mint rather than fresh. Cooked in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours. Served with cous cous and peas. Delicious.

  Was a nice stew type dish but really couldn't taste the cinnamon and wouldn't have guessed it was a Moroccan dish. I even added some Ras El Hanout spices half way through cooking but think next time will need to add more. Slow cooked at 140 for 4 hours and lamb was very tender. Will try again as a bit different to Lamb Stew/hotpot.

  halfway through cooking this looked like it was going to be horrible, but once I added the ground almonds to thicken it up it turned out heavenly. I would probably chop up the apricots next time to spread the flavour out a bit, but apart from that it was a massive success. especially when you serve it to a hungry man. definitely got brownie points for that :-)
