Made this with a lamb shoulder streak. I cut back on the spices to 1/2 as I was only cooking for 2 of us. They came out really nice but because I forgot to buy chicken stock I used a cube and it was way to salty. Lucky for me I had placed it in a bowl so I didnt ruin the meat. Thank you for posting.
