If you like nuts, you will probably enjoy this dish. The taste is hard to describe, it's like nothing I've ever had before -- a little bit nutty, a little bit sweet, a little bit savoury. Goes great with Mean Chef's Perfect Rice (#53520). Serves two very hungry people, or more with a salad.

This recipe was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth it. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the walnut sauce was incredible. I will definitely be making this again for special occasions.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this dish. The walnut sauce was so rich and creamy, it really helped to balance out the gaminess of the lamb. I would definitely make this again.
