  Absolutely delicious despite being really quick and easy to make. Was a bit worried about the amount of cinnamon at first but it wasn't at all overpowering and, along with the lemon zest, it gave the lamb a lovely spicy twang. The rice was just gorgeous too. My husband said it was the best rice I'd ever made and I'll be serving it up as a regular side from now on. Fantastic!

  Delicious! Made with brown rice so it wasn't that quick, but we all loved it.

  This was nice, especially the rice, but I couldn't taste any of the lemon or cinnamon flavours on the lamb, which was disappointing as I was looking forward to the 'twang' mentioned in the review above! We didn't have any kale so had roasted squash with it instead, which went quite well.

  Abs delicious and easy to make! Tossed the lamb in the sauce instead- gave it a nice even flavouring!

  This is a delicious recipe. The lamb tastes lovely and the rice cooks perfectly. Recently made the rice and had it with salmon fillet instead of lamb, minus the cinnamon!

  A good easy evening meal. The lamb was a bit too chewy for us, however the flavours were brilliant together. We had it with mashed pots & broccoli, and I drizzled the lemon chilli sauce over the meat. Yum!

  Fantastic recipe. Great quick after work dinner. Only thing I changed was swapping kale for spinach, as it was what I had in the house.

  This was so quick and easy and very yummy! I would use less kale next time or swap for spinach and probably wouldn't use the lemon/garlic syrup over the top of the lamb as the lemon was too sweet and a bit over powering.

  Made this last night with a few tweaks and it was delicious! Instead of cinnamon, I marinated the lamb in a tablespoon or so of rose harissa which gave a lovely kick. I left out the fried chilli and garlic and instead topped the meat with a cooling dollop of yoghurt and a scattering of pomegranate seeds. It looked gorgeous and tasted great! The rice was surprisingly tasty, would definitely cook it this way again. A winner!

  The best bit about this recipe was the rice, which was very tasty. The lamb was disappointing and the flavours just didn't come through.

  This is a firm favorite in our house. It is very tasty. i can't understand about the flavours not coming through. maybe it is because i prep it and leave it a while till the kiddies are in bed before i cook it. the rice is beautiful!! I have found sometimes the meat can be tough even when pink inside but i blame the cut as sometimes, it has been fab and succulant.

  Very simple to make and delicious. My 4 year old son loved it too. Next time will leave the meat to marinate for an hour so the flavours really come through.
