This is a recipe I pinched from one of the threads on here and have made several times. As is a lamb recipe, I thought is very topical. There are lots of threads with excellent recipes. Might pinch a few more from several threads to add here. You keep adding your own, especially if someone likes what you mention in the What's for tea/dinner thread.
