Jamaican Lamb Curry


Apologies that this post is late. I did cook this international meal last week but what with being home and other projects taking over slightly, I haven't managed to get the post written until now!

This weeks international meal was a Jamaican Lamb Curry (traditionally made with goat but that isn't exactly a normal delicacy around here - lamb is a great substitute though!). This is a very flavoursome dish although I found it very spicy - and I struggle with spicy food!

Taste - ** (Bit too spicy for me!)
Time - * (had to start about 3 hours before eating!)
Repeat? -  I probably wouldn't but that it purely because it was too spicy for me!
