I tried this tonight and thought it was great! I’m not a huge lamb person, but my boyfriend is, so I gave it a try. Delish! When we eat it for leftovers, though, I think I’m going to make a yogurt/mint/cucumber sauce to dribble on top, as well as a spicy harissa. By the way, I’ve been trying your dishes for the last few weeks since I stumbled on your site (looking for tamale pie!), and they all come out so great. I think my boyfriend dreams about your chicken parm. 🙂 I can’t wait to make biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, “risotto” with chicken and sausage, stuffed bell peppers…. Anyway, a big THANK YOU from a fellow San Franciscan.
