Even though this was a Spring dish, I was able to find all the ingredients. It contains lamb, carrots, onion, turnip, potato and peas. I used frozen since peas are not in season. Stew is a perfect winter dish no matter what is in it. After reading some of your comments on this dish it seems I had similar problems with over cooking the vegetables. I would cut the turnip bigger next time and maybe reduce the overall cook time. My liquid was almost all evaporated by the time I took it out of the oven, luckily we like thick stew. It was delicious and I would make it again.
For those of you on Google+ my son left a comment on last week’s soup that I made. He has made his feeling known and they are not good. Kids…

Good luck getting caught up. I recall this not being a particular favorite of mine, but still fun to try new things. I think my husband liked it. And your son and I are on the same page regarding the fish soup:-)

No such luck for me this week (nothing to make up!) so I made the mussels for Neil. I've made a lot of people happy baking and cooking from this book over the past few years!

Mussels are a favorite in my house…just not the curry! So I changed things up a bit! Love your choice for the week…I remember it being well received and enjoyed by my family!

Looks great, Diane! I've read that frozen peas are actually better than fresh because the fresh ones get starchy very quickly! I don't think I've made this one yet…that I recall, so I'll have to do so!

I remember enjoying this stew. You're so right, stew is the perfect food in winter. Of course, you don't have the same cold weather in California. But winter is also a mindset. Happy Friday!

Looks like you enjoyed this make-up recipe! I've avoided this one since it has lamb in it – Happy New Year!

I liked this one also when I made it, Diane. I like lamb any time of the year but I do realize this was a Spring thing. Not so sure it can't be made any time of the year. I cannot remember the moisture problem but you seemed to have handled it with no problem.
