summer lamb stew

[jaylou]

Has anyone made the Summer lamb stew from the last magazine?
It seems like a curry rather than a stew! I have it for dinner tonight with chicken - it looks good but just wondered what the general consensus was?

I'm a novice with the recipe forums so bear with me if this is in the wrong place!!

I LOVE this, made it about 3 times since I bought the mag. It doesn't taste like curry, the powder just gives it a nice depth. What did you think of it?

Just caught up with this again!
I found it did taste of curry, had quite a kick to it - perhaps my medium curry powder is not very medium!
I'd make it again though, loved the aubergine and courgette in it.

We had this on Saturday with new potatoes and cauliflower. I was a bit worried what to serve with it because of the curry powder but it was just like a gutsy casserole.
