"One of my very favorite recipes (can't recall where I got it anymore)... easy and so delicious! Even non-lamb eaters like this one. This reheats very well. I serve it with a salad and pita bread."

  1. I LOVE this recipe and make it often. Everyone goes to pieces over it, it reheats fabulously and is just left alone to cook. Simple and delicious!
     
  2. Have no slow cooker so substituted with oven and hob-turned out very tasty although had to add some of the orzo stock to the mixture as it was a little too dry.
