Spiced Lamb Stew with Apricots image

My family loves lamb, especially my son. During his first year of college, he claimed to be a vegetarian. When he came home, I had a pot of this slow-cooked lamb stew simmering on the counter. At dinnertime, my husband and I found only a few shreds of meat left floating in the gravy. My son confessed that he was the culprit! -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me, but it was worth it in the end. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and the apricots added a nice sweetness.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought this dish was okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the apricots were too sweet for my taste.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
