Tender lamb chops stewed with zesty spices and sweet apricots.
A couple weeks ago I made this wonderful lamb dish. I had taken photos for my typical blog post, but later when I went back to edit the photos and prepare to share this recipe with you, the photos were no where to be found! Thankfully two things had happened – I had snapped this photo to later post on Instagram and secondly, I had filmed the cooking process for a mini video.
