Where's the lamb?December 21, 2007By LuanaCowan
"While the flavor of this stew is outstanding, there needs to be more lamb AND it needs to be browned. I would use 2 pounds instead of 1 and I would cut them into 2-inch pieces. Lamb shrinks considerably after cooking. Also, I would eighth the potatoes after the original ""quarters"" have cooked (so that they don't break down too much). The onion looms too large in the pot, even after cooking, so I would cut the onions in 1/8ths to begin with. One last thing, I used arrowroot instead of flour. One should add mushrooms as well."
