Persian Lamb Stew
A community recipe by soapboxNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is a delicious and easy dinner. Similar to a tagine I suppose. It tastes like you have simmered it for hours but it actually only takes 1½ hours, so I can get it on after work if we have people coming over. I serve it with Cous cous or Rice pilaf and greens.
