Extremely easy to make and delicious. Guests are impressed by the very rich flavor and the spoon service. I recommend preparing this dish the day before without the risk of failure or any need for supervision. -

Great recipe, but personally I prefer to make it with lamb shoulder. I’ve tried it with leg of lamb too, but the shoulder is even more tender. -

Very good recipe The meat is meltingly tender. I completed most of the cooking the day before and finished it on the day of the meal. I will make it again this weekend, but I will add confit potatoes in the pot. My suggestion: In my opinion, sealing the pot is essential and prevents having to line the pot with skin. Adding confit potatoes is a great idea. -

Excellent!!!! Made once last year, I'm doing it again on Friday night, I'll cook for 5 hours today and finish tomorrow... I'm already drooling in anticipation. My suggestion: Why not serve it with semolina? -

Excellent An ideal dish for Easter or family meals. A meat that melts in your mouth, a sauce that is full of flavor. My suggestion: I added flat parsley, 2 whole garlic cloves, and one crushed. I precooked steamed potatoes that finished the last hour in the pot. I made a roux in the last hour because I found the sauce too thin.
