"Unless your family really enjoys peas (mine does not), I wouldn't recommend making this recipe. Additionally, the seasoning is bland, and the recipe calls for way too much lamb and not nearly enough onions (seriously, 4 lbs of lamb and only 8 pearl onions?!). If I try this again, I will have to drastically alter the recipe."
