I am not sure why my result was so different from the other reviewers! I followed the recipe exactly as written, and it was WAY too watery (3 cups of water was tooooooo much). I had to add a lot of cornstarch to thicken it up. It also had absolutely no flavor. After my family had a serving, I went back and added a bunch of spices just to give it some flavor. Sorry, but this was just not good as written. I hope after it sits with the extra spices, it will be better.

Absolutely the best lamb stew I've ever made! I omitted the celery and parsley as we don't like them, and I used fresh herbs instead of dried. I was skeptical about adding the cinnamon but I'm glad I did - it gave the stew a distinctly Middle Eastern aroma and flavor, which I love. It was a little bit watery when I added my fresh green beans but that was no biggie - I just left off the lid for the last 20 mins of cook time. Perfect! Fantastic recipe, Kathy! Thanks so much!

Delicious with cubed top butt of lamb, shallot, green onion, sauteed swiss chard and Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes.

I used Greek seasoning as suggested by another reviewer, garlic flakes, more cinnamon, and I pureed a can of Italian style stewed tomatoes in place of the tomato sauce. And I served it over white rice. The dish was amazingly good. My husband absolutely loved it.

Great! I added more mint & dill and some fresh garlic. The sauce cooks down very nicely - I was worried it would be watery. The mister says its the best lamb stew he ever had. Thanks!

Easy, pleasant and healthy, but quite bland. Tripling the herbs and spices, adding a teaspoon or two of fennel seeds, and replacing the water with lamb stock and red wine helps boost the flavours.

I remember thinking that the recipe was too easy and basic to be that good. It was absolutely fantastic! The spices are a perfect blend with the tomato sauce. It is not a strong flavor for those who like bursting flavor or spice. It is more subtle and quite delicious.

Good but not great. I felt more needed to be added to give the green beans some kick. While I love lamb and green beans, I probably wouldn't make this again.

Some lamb and some green beans and a lot of broth. I didn't really taste the seasonings and I followed the recipe exactly. Won't be making this again.

I am going to add a clove or two of garlic to the onion and celery and before adding the meat. The green beans should be cut or snapped into bite size hunks. Overall, very tasty! My family also enjoyed.

This was delicious!!!!!!! My aunt used to make this when I was younger. I forgot all about it and am so glad that I found it again. The sauce doen't need to be thick so I didn't add anything to this recipe. I do agree that this is just as good if not better the next day. I can't wait to make this with fresh green beans from the garden!

I thought this recipe was great. My husband on the other hand did not care for it and he usually likes anything. I did add more tomato sauce and water so that there was more gravy and thickened it up with some Wondra/water mixture. That was good. Served over rice. Scaled to 6 servings. Yummy.

I used to make this a lot and had forgotten about it. Very good flavor and so easy! If you have mint growing in your garden in the summer this would be a good reason to dry some for the winter! My family loved this. Thanks for sharing.

I love lamb and am always looking for new recipes. This one is so easy and is really delicious. I couldn't find dried mint, so I used Greek seasoning which has dried mint in it. Try it! You'll love it!

This stew is absolutely delicious! Great flavors, wonderful spices. Did not change anything except used 2 cans of green beans, since I did not have fresh on hand. This is a good recipe if you are following a low-carb eating plan, too.
