Margarita's Everynight Recipes
Here is an easy and delicious lamb recipe from epicurious. The lamb was juicy and very flavorful, helped, but not overwhelmed by the spicy tomato sauce. The accompanying mashed potatoes were good by themselves or with the sauce. All in all, a success and a dish I'm sure to make again.
