This was great with such a nice gravy! I added half chicken stock to water as I had some in the fridge to get rid of. I also added beans, corn, peas, sweet potato, potato and carrot.Will be making this again.Wasn't too sure if it was fresh herbs or dried I used dried and it turned out great.

A hearty and heart warming stew, home style cooking at its best! I used half potatoes and half rutabega. I cooked it in a dutch oven in the oven at 350°F for 1 1/2 hours. By the time I found the lamb I wanted it was too late for the crockpot. Apparently, lamb is not in great demand here, so the regular markets stock only a small supply. I loved the lamb, rutabega and rosemary combination. The gravy was bread dipping delicious and the lamb and vegetables were fork tender. Thanks Mirjam, this will be a staple at our house.

Good cold night dinner - really enjoyed it. I thickened it a bit and added a bit of browning - it was a bit pale. excellent flavor. I used sugar snap peas instead of frozrn. The whole fat pods looked great I added them about 30 minutes before serving so they were still crisp. The natural gravy is very tasty, Thanks Mirj for another winner

Great lamb stew Mirj!! I used fresh thyme and rosemary,frozen from the garden and added a couple of cloves of garlic. Also didn't have any frozen peas on hand so added fresh snap peas and used half potatoes and half rutabega. Used half water and half red wine too. Like other reviewers have said the gravy/juice was outstanding, we served it over broad noodles to sop up the delightful juice!! I did notice that you don't state in the instructions when to add the other half of the salt or the thyme and rosemary, I added them with the onions. This was a fine lamb stew enjoyed for supper tonight and will be enjoyed agin on a busy night reheated from the freezer. Thanks for sharing we will be making this again!

I made this in the crockpot and it was wonderful! I followed the recipe as written, but those snap peas looked so good in the picture, I did sub them for the regular ones. I think it would be good with either one. I loved the rosemary flavor in the sauce, oh my, that sauce! Have lots of crusty bread on hand when you make this! Thanks Mirj! This is a keeper.

Thanks Mirj, everyone who ate this delicious stew loved it. Am going to try it again this week with beef for a change. All the flavours combined well together, and esp.loved the baby carrots.

As narrated by my boyfriend, who prepared (and loved) this: "I cooked this on the stovetop, but it still turned out great. I couldn't figure out why I had to brown the lamb in flour, but I'm pretty sure that's why the gravy was so good. I used an extra onion and the final product was hearty, meaty, but with sweet vegetable yumminess."

I never knew you could make a delicious lamb dinner in a crockpot until this recipe! I chopped up celery and potatoes and then added some frozen veg. Pure hearty comfort food.

We haven't even eaten dinner yet and I can already tell this will be a 5-star meal! I cooked it in the crockpot last night and enjoyed the aroma all night. We tasted it this morning and it was so good my daughter wanted it for breakfast. I replaced some of the water with white wine and I added a couple of cloves of minced garlic. I also used 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried herbes de Provence.

Made it for my DD, didn't use thyme or rosemary, use Herbs De Provence. Wonderful for Lamb Lovers.
