Absolutely Delicious! I made this lamb recipe for Easter and was bragging about it in church today! He has risen! Normally, I am conservative with cumin, but it really went well with the lamb! Cumin seeds have a different flavor than cumin powder. Don’t be afraid to use them. The red wine sauce was also delicious on both the meat and the potatoes. I didn’t strain the sauce because garlic is so healthy for the skin!

This method of making lamb went over really well at my house; the wine sauce was even palatable to the kids. Yay! I've been hesitant to buy lamb in the past, but there's some nice grass-fed at Trader Joe's lately, and this recipe really compliments it. I omitted potatoes, and used ground cumin as others have done. Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe. Thanks!

Absolutely delicious! My husband was practically licking the plate (for his sake I'll say "practically"). It's simple and quick, and I'm planning on making it for company, as the presentation is beautiful. I added a little arugula and baby red leaf mixture at the end of cooking the spinach to make it even more colorful. I'd recommend making about twice of the delicious sauce, as we loved it so much we would have liked even more of it!

I give this a three as is, but a four or five now that I've made some changes. The wine reduction is great, just needs some salt. I prefer mashed potatoes made without sour cream, just butter and milk. I use salt, ground rosemary, garlic powder, pepper, and dried thyme as a rub for lamb and think it tastes a lot better than the cumin.

It was okay, but just not great. I had really high hopes after reading the reviews, but I was disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly as written.

I didn't do the potatoes, but I did follow the recipe for the Lamb Steaks and they were delicious!!! Everything was amazing. I didn't have cumin seeds so I used salt and pepper and cumin seasoning for the rub. Then followed the red wine reduction sauce perfectly and it was just delicious. I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who loves lamb.

My husband just raved over this meal! I made it just as written except for the spinach and the sour cream in the potatoes. I used cream cheese instead. I didn't use as much spinach as stated. I will definitely make this dish again. YUM!
