  Delicious - Served with griddled marinated aubergine with feta and herbs. For us it was a delicious Sunday lunch but tasted good enough to serve at a dinner party.

  This was fantastic I cooked it for Easter Sunday with roasted peppers and Roast carrot & bean salad with feta(recipe also on this site).So easy to make and fed 9 of us really good even the kids ate without a complaint.I am not a fan of olives but the sauce was lovely.I then stripped the rest of the lamb and added to a sautéed onion and pepper with the remaining sauce and stirred through pasta then topped with feta another great leftover dish for the family.This is most certainly a firm family favourite to be added to the family selection.

  This was actually the first lamb dish i cooked and it certainly wont be the last. Husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this dish. We served it with roasted root vegetables which went well. If you don't have the tomatoes or olives i wouldn't worry, we thought it wasn't necessary anyways.

  Made this with 2 smallish gigots of lamb, & left out the tomatoes at the end. It was picture-perfect, tasted wonderfully amazing, & husband gave supreme compliment: "you can make this any time for my parents..."

  This tasted fabulous, cooked for a relaxing meal with friends and it got lots of compliments. Served with Greek salad, the sauce has a lovely fresh taste. Leftovers were turned into lamb rogan Josh also found on this site.

  Oh my goodness, I cooked this for yesterday's Easter Sunday lunch soooooo delicious! Actually my mouth is watering just remembering how tasty the lamb was. Delicious tomato sauce as well. I served this alongside the simple Cos salad as recommended by the recipe. May need a bit of bread to mop up every last bit of that sauce;)

  Absolutely delicious. one of our favourite roasts. Make a great change from the usual boring roast lamb, mint sauce, veg, spuds and gravy.
