  Really lovely recipe! Used lamb stock the second time and it really made a difference. Also added plenty of seasoning to the meatballs to liven them up and this really made a difference.

  This was delicious, used turkey mince instead of lamb to make it slightly healthier and instead of frying the meatballs I baked them for 15 mins in the oven and they came out perfectly. Was a bit unsure about how much water to put over the rice but as long as you cover it and keep checking and stirring while it cooks it turns out fine. Added some cherry tomatoes to the rice at the same time as the peas to give it some colour and extra goodness, will definitely make this again!

  Really enjoyed this dish. I used shop bought minted lamb meatballs. The mint and lemon made it really fresh. In the end I used a stock to rice ratio of 2:1 as after frying the rice the first lot of liquid evaporated too quickly. Will make again!

  Rather bland,am amazed that this is a Good Food recipe, I only made this because of the number of recommendations. Sadly the best that I can say is that it is edible.
