The recipe was easy to follow, but the lamb didn't turn out as flavorful as I would have liked. I think I might have used the wrong cut of lamb.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the lamb didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have cooked it at too low of a temperature.

The lamb was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think I might try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
