I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this dish. The ginger and lemon flavors really helped to cut through the gaminess of the lamb.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lamb turned out tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.
