I Cut the recipe in half -no problem, excellent. I made it in a crockpot, cooked on low for 4 1/2 hours. Browned the lamb in a skillet, put whole new carrots in the crockpot, topped with lamb.Seasones with salt & Pepper Poured off the fat from the skillet sauted the onion & celery added it to the crockpot along with spices, tomatoe & 1/2 cup water. About. 10 minutes before serving I added the spinach on top, turned the pot to high when the spinach was wilted I put it on heated plates served the lamb beside it with baby new potatoes - Wonderful easy meal. You could even get this ready the night before and refrigerate it and cook it the next day Thank-you Chia another winner

    Like Bergy, I cut this in half too. It was quick and easy and full of fresh vegies. Our oven isn't working at the moment, so I did this all in a large saucepan over a low heat on the top of the stove. It worked fine.
