We season some flour, lightly coat the lamb chunks, and brown them a day in advance. This dish is supremely decadent, and served with mashed potatoes, you'll really feel like you're in a fine dining establishment eating the fanciest item on the menu!

I thought that sounded like something that could be done in a slow cooker. Low and behold, here you have it, requiring the same time (4 hours). So I added the prunes I had (maybe 1 cup) to the rub I'd already made: garlic, oregano, Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998233164543314025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-28769807423508845042009-10-01T06:08:27.296-07:002009-10-01T06:08:27.296-07:00looks like a great recipe...I just found your webs...looks like a great recipe...I just found your website and love it already!
